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).

It works on the M6, although the peaking isn't as noticeable because at that magnification, you barely see it. Maybe change peaking color to red or blue n see if it's noticeable.

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.

Use unconventional hand holding techniques...?
