[Leica] IMG: A Lesson That Should Have Been Obvious

[Jim Nichols]

Because of my experience with the Fuji 27mm AF lens, I reviewed the 
forgotten features of the X-E1.  I now have the distance scale displayed 
in the finder, and can quickly switch from AF to Manual Focus.  This 
something that I had never tried previously, but it seems to work quite 
well.  Hence, the problem, like in most cases, was not with my equipment 
but was "pilot error".  Such is life. :-[
