To quote the manual, "There is no viewfinder display for in-focus/focus
impossible, shutter speed or aperture when using OM lens." What you might
try is the OM-F, which does have a focus confirmation with Zuikos. But, it
does tend to get confused and the green light does come on at times when it
really isn't in focus. To return to the subject of the OM-77, my holiday
pics with the OM77 came out great. I picked up two (ahem, cough) Sigma AF
lens off of eBay for a song (28-70 and 70-200). This might be the best bet
using AF lens for family photos. And in a pinch they will take regular Zuikos.
