Re: The feature I most like on the M5.

Any lens that allows for electronic manual focus override

Half-press the shutter button. Operate the focus ring while pressing the shutter button. The displayed image will automatically zoom-in, "MF" blinking is presented on the right top corner of the display (back LCD or VF) and focus peaking will be come up (if enabled)

It's a treat. Enjoy

Just tried it with M5 + 18-150mm. The zoom works but no peaking (it is enabled because peaking works just fine if fully MF). Also how do you see the non-zoomed view once focused ? Bit hard to compose when hand-holding if zoomed right in 10x - I must be missing something.
