Re: E-M5 and 60mm Macro: How to manally focus?

To add a bit to what has already been mentioned, it's useful to know that one can assign the "focus magnification" mode to a button (I use Fn2); so--without needing to touch the manual focus ring--I can activate the enlarged view and then half-press the shutter button and move the camera back-and-forth to establish my desired focus. Works well to have the OIS turned on (with half-press of shutter) to avoid jitter while viewing the focus.
