Re: Focus peaking v. magnification

I don't know if this has been mentioned but focus peaking needs an edge to glow on. It is useful for scenery or portrait where the focus can latch on feature such as eye lids, teeth, lip, etc... But if you want to focus to the tip of the nose or area on the cheek, it may not show/glow unless the area has some defect such as acne or facial hair. Another example where peaking does not work is taking picture of a painting; nothing will glow accept the hard edges on the picture frame.
