PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ FOCUSING 98
IN LIVE VIEW MODE
(WITH ASSIST FUNCTIONS)
You can set the image sharpness in Live View mode via the screen
image – it will show the image object at the exact sharpness as it is
rendered by the lens based on the focusing and aperture setting.
Your camera offers two useful assist functions to facilitate and im-
prove setting accuracy:
– The magnification of an (initially) central cropped section of the
screen image (Zooming).
• The enlargement function (
Focus Aid ) can be activated auto-
matically during focusing or independently.
– Marking of screen image sections where subject elements are in
clear focus (Focus Peaking)
FOCUS PEAKING
This assist function highlights the edges of in focus subject elements
in color. The color can be user-specified.
The Focus Peaking function is configured and activated/deactivated
alongside the other auxiliary displays via the info profiles (see p. 86).
▸ Configure and display info displays
▸ Select an image section
▸ Turn the focus ring to mark the desired subject elements
• All subject elements that are rendered in focus with the selected
distance setting are marked with a silhouette in the selected
color.
Notes
• Focus peaking is based on subject contrast, i.e. differences be-
tween light and dark. As a result, high contrast subject elements
could be marked, even if they are not completely in focus.
• Display accuracy decreases when a wide-angle lens is used with a
small aperture (= high depth of field).
