Re: Question about Olympus settings (MF, IBIS and focus peaking)

Thank you for you answer, it helped me understanding a thing:

When focus peaking is "normal" (default settings), then half-press on the shutter + touching the focus ring turns the focus peaking on (which is a good thing).

When focus peaking is on (by pressing a custom fn), then half-press on the shutter turns it off, and even if I turn the focus ring it won't come back.

Interesting. I think it's the intended behaviour of all Olympus cameras then... I have to find if it's possible to change that.

Panasonic cameras are different:

When in AF, focus peaking is turned on when you touch the focus ring (like Olympus)

When in MF, focus peaking remains on all the time.

I would have preferred Olympus to do the same...
