The Micro Four-Thirds format can provide incredibly shallow depth of field with the right optical configuration.
Here I was using my Helios 44-3m lens, which is a full-frame lens, mounted via a focal reducer adapter. A focal reducer works a bit like a mild magnifying glass, reducing the image circle that the lens casts. In doing so, it also preserves many of the full-frame attributes of the lens, such as bokeh and shallow depth of field, while actually reducing (because it is shrinking) any optical imperfections that the lens might otherwise be prone to.
Finally, because a focal reducer is concentrating the image circle on a smaller area, this sort of adapter will also result in a practical increase in the intensity of light cast. So, in essence, an f/2 lens might actually transmit light more like an f/1.8 lens, thus gaining you a valuable stop of exposure in a low light situation.
This photo, while taken in daylight conditions demonstrates the shallow depth of field possible. The mirrorless format of Micro Four-Thirds and its short flange back distance makes it possible, with adapters, to mount almost any lens made in the last eighty years using an appropriate adapter.

This is an image uploaded Straight Out of The Camera (SOTC). This is a real image taken with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Camera with zero photo editing applied.
Another picture taken at the old rundown Olympia railway station in Munich. There you're pretty much surrounded by dirt, rubbish and broken glass. This is just a small excerpt of what you find there.
