Adjusting focus manually seems to be hit-or-miss. The bar graph in the LCD seems to jump wildly as I twiddle the Main Dial.

How does one manually set the focus with any accuracy? I've tried to make a hyperfocal preset on C1 but how does one know that the focus is set to 6 ft and not to 5.5 or 7 ft? I know that it doesn't make much difference at f/5.6, but if I want to focus manually at a larger aperture, things get a bit dodgy.

The G3's manual focus feature is no substitute for a lens focus ring. How does one compensate for this?

Thanks.

I've found manual focus to be real hit or miss too. Not only is it jumpy, but it also seems to adjust sometimes and other times it doesn't.
