The Panasonic 14-42 and 45-175 definitely accept zoom and focus control from the ATEM control software. I've not used the hardware panel so cannot comment on that. I have found that they operate OK for slow conference work (I use them remotely on a BMD Micro Studio Camera on a cheap Hague P/T head), though there can be problems with finding focus again after zooming in or out on the 45-175. Sometimes you have to zoom in steps, adjusting focus each step; or you even have to go and press the lens release button to reset the lens, though I have also had this experience with other MFT lenses getting "stuck" out of focus on BMD cameras. Having said that, the lenses are excellent value and generally available second hand, and provide a really flexible setup with the Micro Studios for manned or unmanned operation.
