Re: The feature I most like on the M5.

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.

Hi PhotoKhan,

How does this feature work?  Is there a setting that needs to be turned on in the camera, and are the lenses you are referring to as "a lens that features it" the native M lenses or should it work with "L" lenses or typical EF-S STM lenses?
