Two questions about using the NX500...

that I can't find answers to in the owner's manual. Specifically:

1) Is there any way to increase the length of time the LCD stays on while composing and focusing a photo?

2) Is there any way to move the focus magnifier spot around the frame while composing and focusing a photo?

FYI, I am using my NX500 as a "digital back" on a modified Cambo WDS technical camera and I find it frustrating to have the LCD turn off before I've finalized the composition and focus of my photos, not to mention not being able to move the focus magnifier around the photo to check focus at critical points.

I use a Sony A7R most of the time, but bought the NX500 to use whenever I need more rise/fall/shift movements than my lenses can accommodate on the A7R's 24x36 sensor or I need/want to create files larger 36MP by stitching three frames into one.

It's still early days yet, but so far, I am veryfavorably impressed by the performance of the NX500, despite the two issues I've mentioned above.
