Tap the bottom button once for high magnification and twice for ultra high magnification (far greater than the M6 rangefinder with stacked optical pieces, which I had many years ago), set the focus, then compose and take the shot. I've found it to be very accurate, even in light ? or lack of it ? that the M cannot focus in. There's also an EVF available for those that don't like the live view; I've tried it and prefer the rear live view.
