And you can set AF+MF so that the camera will auto focus until you move the focusing ring on the lens and then it will manually focus. With this, you can change a setting to that the camera zooms in on the focus point when manually focusing for a very useful tool that will allow you to accurately dial in the focus more so than if you were viewing a non zoomed in image.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can separate the focus from the shutter function like on the OM-D, so you may either be able to AF or MF and not have the AF+MF option. However, this is easy enough to change. If you want to go cheap, you can purchase an adapter and legacy lenses from older OM mounts, Pentax mounts, Minolta mounta, Nikon mounts, Canon mounts, and others. They will only manually focus on your camera, but it gives you a way to purchase some decent cheap lenses. I have a 5 f/1.8 OM lens an adapter. I'd like to find a longer OM prime that I can use for street photography.
