I just came across http://www.pchood.com/USB%20Follow%20Focus and as I'm using the Olympus 14-35mm 4/3 lens it would be very handy to control the fokus with a device like this. The Olympus has a quite good focus motor and a mechanical FF is sometimes not the best solution (e.g. on a steadycam you don't want a mechanical FF).

Vitaliy, do you think it is possible to enable such an option for the USB port on the GH1/2?

If such an option is not present in the camera software at all, that would be to much to rewrite it - but maybe this function is already there in a service mode. Most cameras can be controlled via USB for testing in factory or when send in for repair. So, all that might to be done is enable this function in normal user mode (and of course get a device like in the link which can controll GH-cam).

May be first good step to understand if you really need FF.

If you need really good FF look at Thrusmt - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/36/thrusmt-follow-focus]]>
