The real question is does David Busch tell you how to apply these
individual functions in some cohesive way to do useful things? If so
then you may have the answer soon. If not, well....

I just received the new E-M1 book by David Busch. Evidently you can
assign the focus screen to a dedicated button, the right and down
arrows can be changed, and in the custom menu a home focus area can
be set. Problem is, I haven't gotten that far so really can't answer
the question.........but it must be different than the E-M5.

I don't know about the E-M1. It seems to be part of the µ4/3
consortium spec., "Lets all have a feature that will drive most users
crazy!", as all the Pens and the two Pannys I have all have the same
issue.
Accidentally touch the left 'button' function of the rear wheel or
touch the screen at some unspecified moment and POOF!, the focus
point moves to a random place.
Learning to hold the cameras carefully may help. A firmware fix to
turn the focal point move function off seems unfortunately unlikely.
Somebody out there in manufacturer land must love it.
If The E-M1 fixes this, I might find it more appealing, in spite of
the huge grip and paying for PD AF I'll never use. The E-PM2 still
has the problem, so the E-PL5 must, too.
