But only in one-shot AF mode, otherwise you won't achieve anything;
whatever you dis-correct is corrected once again by AF....;))
Also, FTM is only half the fun without CF4, the custom function that
moves AF-start (or AF-continuous) from the release button to the
thumb-button on the rear of the body.
AND FTM ads *more* ergonomy to *pre*-focus correction than to *after*-
focus....especially in low light/contrast and with tele lenses, this
avoids hunting for focus by a large margin....
