I have the E-M1 and find the focus peaking doesn't work at all with the Sigma 105mm macro (4/3 mount). I tried every other lens I have and it works perfectly, including the 50-200 and 11-22.

Anyone else have this problem? Is this normal with this lens?

Unlikely?


But does FP works well for you? For me it seems highly inaccurate.

It definitely does not work on mine in live view or in the EVF. My 50-200 works perfectly. I don't see why the 105mm wouldn't when it's a four thirds mount with AF.

For non 43/m43 you need to assign FP to a button, it does not work "automatically". Did you do that?

That was the problem. Thank you very much Sir, much appreciated.

I am using this lens/camera combination I tried to assign focus peaking with a button and nothing happened when using the lens. I have MF on the lens (both switches). When I press the button I assigned to the foccus peaking, the EVF just shows a darker version (no white highlights and no magnification). Any suggestions?
 
Oh...now it's working. The white outline appears faint on this lens compared to the others I tried.....maybe it was the subject or the wway this lens focuses...I'm not sure.

Good to hear you got it going. Looking forward to some warm days and lots of bugs.
