Canon M50 mk2 focus peaking
1

I have a question about focus peaking accuracy. I just bought a full manual lens.

I tried the focus peaking. Even though the object is already in red (the color I picked), when I took the shot, it was still out of focus.So I had to zoom in and make sure it is already sharp.

I thought it was the lens, so i switched to sigma 16mm and 30mm, set them to manual focus. They have the same problem. When focusing manually, when the object already outlined as in focus, the result is still out of focus. It's not by a lot, but still not sharp. I even lower the f-stop to 8, but still the problem persist.

Is it normal that I need to zoom in and fine tune the focus?

I have an old M10, I'm gonna try and see if it has the same problem.

Thanks
