Still having problems with the MF and the focus peaking. The colour highlites don't seem to work as well as on my XT10, need to have higher contrast and good light for the peaking to work. Maybe it will get better with time, and maybe it was because I was shooting close ups of berries in a forest.

I recently saw something maybe on this forum:

Shoot raw + JPG, then set your film emulation to monochrome. The raws will still offer you the color option when you get home.

Set your focus peaking color to red.

Then when you look thru the viewfinder you will see a monochrome image with red focus highlighting. Much easier to see the highlighting.

Unfortunately, I only use Picasa for my PP these days. So raw is a waste of time. I know, I know, I really should get an application that allows for raw. I used to use PS, but don't want to buy a subscription, and actually have Gimp, tho don't use it often.

But great idea re using monochrome and fp color to red. Think maybe I'll start shooting in monochrome, tho not sure how those bright red berries would look in B&W.

Thanks for the suggestion.
