NX Camera Manual Focus Magnifier Outside Center of Frame?

Hello,

I have NX1000 and NX300 cameras. With non NX lenses using a manual adapter - is there a way to have the manual focus magnifier to work outside the center of the frame similarly as in DMF assist mode when it magnifies the focus point?

I tried using the touch screen on the NX300 to move the magnified area to no avail. Center magnifier is not always precise when doing portraits at wide open aperture - every recomposing affects the critical focus on the eyes. On my Sony SLT camera the magnified area can be moved around and the camera remembers the last one used - very convenient for focusing on the face in Portrait orientation.

I hope this is possible on Samsung, too. I searched for this but could not find a definitive answer, maybe there is a hidden trick to do it. Thank you!
