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.

This is surely my favorite feature as well ... now that I know about it.  Thanks for the tip.
