Canon EOS M5 Review - From a 6D Owner.

The feature I most like on the M5.
6

With the shutter button half pressed, if I touch the manual override ring on a lens that features it, the image (...in the back screen and the VF, both...) auto-jumps to an enlarged format showing the focus peaking lines, allowing for on-the-fly pin-point manual focus adjustments.

It even works with EF lens that have such ring (i.e the EF 85 f/1.2 L II) and I can only but hope that this is a feature Canon will carry forward to all their future mirrorless, as it is "operationally transparent" and extremely intuitive to use.
