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

Three things with this camera and this lens for macro photography:

1) This is a pretty-much unbeatable combination, though other mft bodies with this lens will of course work well.

2) The usefulness of tap-to-focus-and-expose on the rear LCD can't be overstated for macro work. It's the best thing ever.

3) A good setup if you want to focus manually with the ring is to de-couple the focusing and the shutter button. I have fn2 as the focus button, not the shutter button. That way you can use the ring but not press fn2, or focus with fn2 and then the shutter button doesn't refocus.
