Regarding the Olympus PEN E-P3:
I see that when using the touch screen, you can adjust the AF Target size.
But, when using the EVF, I see no way to do the same. When using the EVF, you can easily adjust the AF Target location, toggle single, multi, face detect, but it appears that without switching to touch screen operation, there is no way to resize the AF Target.
Also note when using the touch screen to make the AF Target smaller, when you switch to EVF operation, the AF Target reverts back to the larger, default size.
The owners manual seems to agree - no way to adjust the AF Target size when using the EVF.
Anyone know an undocumented way to accomplish this?
I also see the E-P5 manual says you can do this, outside of touch screen operation.
Did they leave this capability out of the E-P3?

Wow! It's quiet in here these days!!
The capability is there. Done with the magnify button. This does adjust the AF target size, as well as manual focus zoom size. The confusion came in that the Olympus EP-3 does not indicate that the AF target size is now set smaller via the EVF, but does do so, via the rear monitor.
