I also tried manual focus mode with peaking. It works well. When I started, there was no auto focus, and compare to these days, using the peaking mode, and manual focus, and if needed with 'magnification', it works very well.
I have no plan to go back to manual focusing, and found the autofocusing with face detection is still a very convenient way to shoot in events and people photo graph (provided face detection works well). But for me, it is good enough.
And touch screen to set focus area is good enough now. It is a useful feature. I prefer that to using dials to move the focus area thru looking into a view finder.
E-M 10's White Balance option
and D-M 10 has an option. i.e. in a menu, you can set to put cooler colour as a default on a photo like this, thus, this pic does not have amber cast. I quite like that...

I have been practicing manual focusing with my Canon FDn 80-200mm F4 lately as I am planning to head to Pinnacles National Park for some hiking this coming weekend. If lucky, I might see some endangered California Condors there. This is probably the first time I leave my DSLR at home as I really want to reduce the weight on my back especially for long hikes and oversea travel. I also got myself a Camelbak Motherlore as a makeshift camera bag. I took it to Easter Sierra for hiking and it 's way more comfortable than the CaseLogic camera bag that I used to carry. Plus, the Camelbak comes with a mil spec hydration pack in a separated compartment ---- perfect for long hikes. Anyway, back to this image. I saw some swallowtail butterflies at Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge today. During noon time, they are extremely active and normally it 's very hard to capture their images. The best time is early in morning when they are more subdued. But I really wanted to take some pictures of them today. So I staked out right next to a tree and waited. I observed their flying patterns. They came and went in full circles. This particular one always came back to land on the plant as shown in the image. So I pointed my camera toward that plant, set the focus, and waited for the monarch to sow up. It finally did. I took a few shots and again I was surprised by the lack of contrast at F5.6 and 200mm focal length. I uploaded the images to my laptop and converted the RAW files into TIFF using Sony Image Data Converter after choosing the daylight preset for the white balance. I then exported the TIFF file to Lightroom and made some tweaks on the contrast, sharpness, and color. Again the histogram showed no data in the dark area and there was no overblown highlight as well. The weird thing is the dynamic range seemed to be compressed. I 'm not sure if this was caused by the optics. The details, however, were there. But it 's lacking the micro-contrast. So here is the final image.
Getting more bold with the manual focus on my Canon EOS camera, in situations where auto focus just isn't cutting it.
