Sorry, but this guy must be a honk...
Since yesterday I use the new ways to fokus with my GXR and I was blown away how simple it works and how safe it works. Dead brilliant! Two modes can be selected, with the focus being checked by strengthening outlines or contrast. It is possible to magnify the image while shooting to make it easier to focus. In addition to magnifying the central part of the image, it is possible to display the magnified area across the entire screen. The image quality for 4x and 8x magnification has also been further enhanced, and the area to be magnified can be moved with the directional pad.

The 100% Crop:
Either if you use AF or MF the "twinkling" contrast lines show you exactly where you hit the point. Its just clean and easy. The new focus modus is so impressive for me that I am sure that I will buy the new M-modul.
BTW: It also works in a light version in the AF modus of the camera too (if you like, you can deactivate it).
