I have attempted several times to write a post describing my method for doing exactly what the OP requests. None of my efforts were as clear as the description written by Mike Hendren in the link provided by banest above. He perfectly describes the set-up I have used for years.

This method works with all Olympus m43 bodies I have used. For those without a 1-2 switch, turning on MF via the menu or SCP enables back button focus if AEL/AFL is in mode 3 for MF. However, MF must be turned on from the body as turning MF on from a snap ring does not enable back button focus.
