Same as all Olympus DSLRs as well. I can't remember not having this
option. I think even the Camedias had it. Then if you want to get more
fancy, switch the AEL/AFL and the Fn button (which you have to do in some
cases if you want to use a battery grip and have focus at your thumb).
I used to have two different modes set up, the main difference between them
being where the focus trigger was. I like it sometimes on the shutter
button if I'm shooting "action" photos. But I don't even bother with that
anymore. Focus at the thumb is really fast for me, and then I also know
that it's locked there.
