GX7 or OMD-E10?

Others have suggested tilting the EVF or the LCD for us "lefties", but I found that to be a poor work around, at best. What I did do is disable the touch screen, then I had to repurpose the 4 way controller to do the job of setting the focus point. By this time I'd pretty much destroyed all the features of the GX7 and finally gave up. Others have more patience.

BTW, I also had the E-M10 II and had the same issues, even worse since I could not reliably turn the darn touch focus off.....two inadvertent nose taps and the devil appeared again.

If the eye thing is a problem, I'd get a used E-M10 for about $300 if you can find one in your part of the world, or save up for the E-M 5 II, like I did. Well worth the wait (I also found a good deal on a second used E-M5 II at about the same price as a new E-M10 II)

Might be you do not have GX7 anymore. But it actually be essential for all touch AF cameras: well use of the shortcut key to return the focus point back to the center in case if it has been moved away by mistake.

In case of GX7, hit the "Disp" key when the focus point is still within a movable/adjustable status or if not, move it anywhere (not to confirm the new location) and hit "Disp". It should be similar operation for EM10-II. As if disable the Touch AF, Touch Pad (might affect all touch features as well?) feature and using the slower 4-way command control keys would reduce the camera back to a very primitive model.

I grow myself a routine of "touch LCD+hit Disp key" every time while putting the camera up to my face. It may be annoying, but doesn't spend time to do so and could have all touch features be ready to use...
