My only wish is that they somehow implement physical focus ring instead of fly-by-wire and add a real focusing patch in the ovf.

Em...

  1. Use manual focus lens instead of auto focus lens.
  2. Similar to car's autopilot automatically steer, camera body has motor which will auto rotate above manual focus ring if auto-focus mode on. However, once consumer hand hold "manual focus ring' will auto convert into manual-focus mode. This allow consumer perform more precision manual focus start from current auto-focus point.
  3. Once consumer hand leave "manual focus ring", camera auto switch back to auto-focus mode.
  4. Change AFL button to Focus-Lock button (lock current focus point regardless auto/manual focus). Rotate manual focus ring will release focus lock.
