Mine is a 510, but I suspect the 520 is the same. Just get in the ballpark
with the viewfinder, then push the button for Live View, on the rear
display, and press OK to magnify.
I actually found that I can focus this lens fairly closely just using the
viewfinder, but I like to use the magnifier if I think the subject will
remain in a fixed position. Hard to predict with birds. I do place a black
cloth over the camera and my head, in order to see the rear display.
I use the lens on a bellows, so focusing is fairly easy when I figure out
which knob to turn. Here is a photo of it on the E-1, but I normally use it
on the E-510 for Live View, and add a full set of extension tubes to help
the bellows length.
