Was this in response to my question? Nothing there about using manual focus.

I'd also like to know if it can do focus confirmation with old manual lenses, or do they still need a Daisy chip to enable this?

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question (I unexpectedly spent several days in the hospital just after I did my last post). In any event, the camera does provide a magnified view in manual focus mode. The magnification ratio defaults to 10x (which I find to be too much), but I think the ratio can be changed. It doesn't appear to have a focus confirmation light or beep as some DSLRs offer, but one may be buried in the menus. I just confirmed that the camera offers a form of focus peaking (which I have not yet tried, but which seems to be a popular feature on newer cameras and helps with manual focus). Here is a You-Tube video which explains how focus peaking works on this camera and how it can be activated:
