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. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
