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

Thanks for your tips about copying slides. I will book mark your info.

To clarify what I said previously, using the Oly 60mm you don't actually need to turn AF off before turning the dial to 1:1. The idea is to turn the dial to 1:1 and move the camera backwards and forwards to obtain focus. At all other ratios (other than 1:1) the AF is actually quite useful.
