Manual Focus Tips and Settings for Olympus OM-D micro four third cameras | M. Zuiko 300mm F/4 Lens.
In this video, I share my top tips for using manual focus on your Olympus camera with the 300mm f/4 lens and how to set them up.
SOLUTION: at 10:06 I mention the magnify tool is permanently off when you turn AF+MF on, check the pinned comment for the solution offered by Kalle!
[Basically, put the camera in manual focus and you can make changes to the magnifying tool (A4 MF Assist) again]
