Absolutely, with flash synch at all speeds too. There was a Konica
Autoreflex that could be switched between full- and half-frame formats but
it didn't catch on because it missed the point that the primary benefit of
half-frame was the comparative smallness of the cameras. By modern standards
though, even the Pen S isn't that small and light. It would be a nice
acknowledgement of their heritage if Olympus were to produce a half-frame
version of one of their Mju (Stylus) zoom cameras.
