I thought you were the manual reader? :-)
There are several options - p43:

S-AF (single AF)
The camera focuses once when the shutter button is pressed
halfway. When the focus is locked, a beep sounds, and the AF
confirmation mark and the AF target mark light up. This mode
is suitable for taking pictures of still subjects or subjects with
limited movement.

C-AF
(continuous AF)
The camera repeats focusing while the shutter button remains
pressed halfway. When the subject is in focus, the AF
confirmation mark lights up on the monitor and the beep sounds
when the focus is locked at the first and second time. Even if
the subject moves or you change the composition of the picture,
the camera continues trying to focus.
• Four Thirds system lenses focus using [S-AF].

MF (manual focus)
This function allows you to
manually focus on any subject.
[MF Assist] (P. 86): The focus
ring can be used for zoom
display.
[Focus Ring] (P. 86): Choose
the ) (close up) direction.

S-AF+MF
(simultaneous use of
S-AF mode and MF
mode)
After pressing the shutter button halfway to focus in [S-AF]
mode, you can turn the focus ring to fine-adjust focus manually.

C-AF+TR
(AF tracking)
Press the shutter button halfway to focus; the camera then
tracks and maintains focus on the current subject while the
shutter button is held in this position.
• The AF target is displayed in red if the camera can no longer
track the subject. Release the shutter button and then frame
the subject again and press the shutter button halfway.
• Four Thirds system lenses focus using [S-AF].
-------------------------------------------

I'm mostly in S-AF+MF, which is quite good, and sometimes in MF.

And on pg 86:

"Full-time AF If [On] is selected, the camera will continue to focus even
when the shutter button is not pressed halfway."
