I focus visually and with the lens switched to manual mode (unless it's an adapted Minolta MD lens or Canon FD lens in which case it's manual focus anyway) via the view finder and a rightangle multiplying (non-canon) viewer.
Works for me.
I really can't be bothered using liveview and having to use my lappy outside in the damp night air (killing my night vision BTW).
I adhere to the KISS approach.
Cables connecting the camera to the lappy have caused several people here at IIS dramas (over tensioned accidentially by an very taught cable , stuffing up the USB socket on the camera , and I bet a few near misses when the owners or hangersoners have walked into the cables !!!
The only thing hanging off my camera when I have on my GEM is a TC80n3 chinese clone , chinese clone 3x angle viewer (for those awkward camera angles (always to awkward for me without the angle viewer (which is also rotateable) and the neck strap (and the lens and GEM off cause), I like it that way.
