Not particularly difficult for me. I set the fn button to switch in and out of
MF. The button next to it on the E-PL1 is
the magnifying glass. One push of each button, and I'm in magnified MF mode. I
think the choices are 5, 7 and 10x; five
is plenty for me.
Remember, I have excellent visual acuity, and can peer over my glasses at the
screen in sharp focus about 8-10" from my
face. so it may be more troublesome for others.
Just as well, as the AF tends to ignore small, close things in favor of distant
background, even with only the central
AF 'point'/box selected and centered on the closer subject. Much as I've found
with compact cameras using CDAF.
With any luck, the newer AF on the OM-D, and 35 AF points vs. 11 will work
better, and I'll find less need for MF with
the AF lenses.
