We report recent progress in the calculations of the isovector nucleon electromagnetic form factors using 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions at pion masses of 170 MeV and 250 MeV. The lattice size is fixed at $32^3\times64$ with a lattice cutoff scale of 1.37(1) GeV. For the calculations with $M_\pi = 170$ MeV, we employed the All-Mode-Averaging (AMA) technique, which led to roughly a factor of 20 improvement in computational efficiency and has reduced the statistical errors in our results significantly. We were also able to do calculations at two different source-sink separations, at roughly 1.3 fm and 1.0 fm, without much additional cost by reusing the low eigen-modes stored for the AMA calculations. We will present results for the isovector form factors and their derived quantities, including the Dirac and Pauli radii, anomalous magnetic moment and discuss the effects of possible excited-state contaminations. Connected contributions to the isoscalar Dirac and Pauli form factors will also be shown.
