And it is an operation specific for Panny bodies and native M43 lenses: keep shutter half pressed, turn the focus ring on the lens will enter MF mode. Release the half pressed shutter will return to AF mode. No key is required for the switching.

You need the "AF+MF" option turned on (custom menu) for that to work. I had it turned off. I've sometimes wanted to do that, and didn't know you could. Now I've turned the option on.

Thanks.
