Philippe asked:
Can you, on the E3, adjust manually after focus has been made auto,
or easily and ergonomically "freeze" the focus before framing?
I find the latter difficult to perform on the L1 as the button is
badly located and you always risk getting your thumb into your eye
when you try.

Yes ... the Oly E3 has an MF-AF mode. The camera works in AF... but
after you press the shutter 1/2 way, the focus locks. While still
holding the shutter 1/2 way down, you can manually "tweak" the focus
and the tweak will hold. Press the rest of the way, to fire the
shutter.
It's a rather nice system, as you do not have to flip any switches
to switch from AF to MF. However, I've not used the method a lot. I
need to train myself to do so, as it should give the best of both
worlds. As for the stage shots ... things were moving so fast
(despite the look of "Studio shot?") that there simply was not time
and the performers moved about too much.
Still, AF was not all bad... here is a shot of an Indian horn
player, from Rajasthan ...

which I thought turned out pretty well.
very nice David...
