Quick question about manual focusing and exposure

I'm thinking about purchasing the GH2 and using it with some several Canon FD lenses I have from decades ago.

I understand that everything will necessarily be manual with these lenses and the FD to 4/3 adapter. My question is: Does the Panasonic GH2 have electronic tools to assist me in manual focusing and in setting exposure (zebras, waveform monitors, etc.)?

Thanks for your help.
 
The gh2 has a zoom option available when not recording for focusing.
for lighting, it has a histogram and you can have the 100% light to blink black (kinda like zebra100%)
Overall, I still recommend using a monitor with manual lens. SmallHD DP6 is the best but expensive, otherwise, the Sony or Mrashall 5" are good choices as well.
