With a bit of playing, I've managed to set bracketing to the front lever, and pinpoint zoom focus to a front function button! Huzzah!

The latter is particularly useful for manual lenses.

Well, sort of.

Further testing shows that the pinpoint zoom focus only works when AFS/AFC are selected on the focus-lever. MF does not allow it.

So while it is useful for autofocussing Olympus and Panasonic lenses, it isn't for my manual lenses like the Voigtlander f/0.95 17.5mm.

I'll have to conduct further experiments.

Cheers,
Paul
