The Pen F cannot tether. Sadly. I found this out on a client shoot. It's not supported by the software. Otherwise, the tethering software Olympus provides is excellent. You can fully control all aspects of the camera from the laptop. Focus, shooting, settings, boost in the view, etc... you can also route the shots to a folder Lightroom is watching for instant import and preset application or editing. Right now si think only the omd cameras tether. The I know the em5mk2 nd both em1 cameras tether.
