Apologies if this was already posted:
The Olympus Lens Cap Auto Open LC-37C threads on and works as desired on the Panasonic GM1 kit 12-32 mm. The cap is not electrically controlled - there's just a simple mechanism that opens the cap when the lens is extended.
I could not discern any vignetting, even though the cap is designed for a 14-42 mm lens.
For my wife, it actually makes the camera quite a bit more fun to carry and use.
The old drill:
1. extend lens
2. remove thin lens cap (a bit fussy) and stash it
3. turn on camera
4. fire, hoping your subject is still there.
5. undo 3-2-1
Unexpectedly, omitting step 2 made all the difference.
Hope this helps someone.
