Obviously there's a limit to what you can do, but the option for super-small points was introduced if I recall correctly with the E-PL5/E-PM2 launch, and added retrospectively with a firmware update to the original E-M5 as well. You can position these singly (along with the larger sized ones), and for the (nearly) whole-screen grid of multipoint focusing you can also choose to have a smaller group instead, and to move this around a bit if you prefer. The flexibility isn't endless by any means, but pretty useful.

What a ripper suggestion, mate!

This set my mind in motion (hard to do at times, these days ... ) and I wondered if changing the size of the AF box of my E-M1 in LiveView mode would have any effect on its size in EVF mode? I changed it to 14x in LV mode, and voilà, it is changed to 14x in EVF mode .

Thanks heaps Helen. I would never have discovered this in a million years ...
