Does not work with PEN-F
I saw this listed as compatible with the PEN-F, but it doesn't work on my PEN-F. The official Olympus remote release just works without configuration, but this cable only half-works: it'll allow my Vello FreeWave to activate focus, like a half-press of the shutter release, but it won't fully release the shutter. I tried the Vello-brand cable too, but that also didn't work for me; see my review on Vello's UC1 cable for details. A Pixel CL-UC1 remote cable finally worked for me, making the Vello FreeWave work just like the Olympus, proving that it's the cable at fault, not the camera or my settings.
Incompatible with PEN-F
I purchased this to try to get my Vello Freewave Plus wireless remote to work with my Olympus PEN-F. Although it plugs in, and the camera recognizes it, I can’t get the shutter to release. When I press the button on the FreeWave, I can see the camera react as if the shutter is half-pressed: it acquires focus. But it won’t fully release the shutter. This is a pity as the item is nonreturnable.
