Live view / EVF isn't ground glass focussing.  Unlike an SLR or a rangefinder the EVF or live view LCD is much much closer to WYSIWYG including off-center focussing.  There are no calibrations to get out of whack and no compensation needed for field curvature.

Much! Better, easier, more accurate with the Sony EVF compared to rangefinder focussing....
