Extremely Fast Manual Focus via Focus Peaking With The Sony A7ii

Focus Peaking is a very powerful tool for shooting still photography or video with manual focus and is preferable when shooting video because the photographer can manually "ease in" to subject focus.

It is also great using a lens that is not autofocus. This is a unique characteristic as featured in the Sony A7ii.

This is the perfect second-hand streaming camera (1080p clean hdmi) and there are cheap full-fame lenses now

+1 (quick, concise, effective), thanks Gary.

[Croft_Gundogs]

Gary, do you not find that the peaking is not always quite correct and the zoom magnification tool is much better (not the assist which you explained as well)? Thanks

[pix_wbmr]

I had this camera for 4 years and didn't know it had this feature... god dammit thanks so much

[sogche]

I enjoy your instruction video very much. Thanks, Gary!

I have focus peaking on my EOS 50D with Magic Lantern!

[RishiRajKoul]

Nice video Garry, I look forward to your review of A7R2

[henrikgustav]

does the focus peaking actively working during a continuous shooting?

[Hegu-]

but the pure manual lens won’t set your F and exposure time automatically right? you need to set everything manualy. I’m right, or it just manual focus and rest can be set automaticaly?

[mrnomore]

focus peaking is not accurate. if you wanna take great pictures, trust your eyes and use the zoom function

[beyondpairadice]

As somebody that is nearest shooting Sony and I have the A7ii, how do I set this up so that it does this

[myohana]

Do Sony Alpha cameras offer monochrome EVF with focus peaking? It's easier to see focus peaking on monochrome EVF. Thanks,

Focus peaking is not working on my canon 70-200 2.8 is version 2. is that normal? i already set all into manual. thanks

Sony will be number ONE in 1 or 2 decade, beating Canon, Nikon

Hi!
How can I assign ISO settings to the front dial? (I am not using that dial for aperture because I shoot with manual lenses). It would be so useful for me

[jayfox]

Peaking is good with a tripod without it its useless, and honestly who wants to shoot Portrait with a tripod outdoor, its just fun in a studio. Other camera sellers Like Panasonic found better solutions.

[NigguhToFly]

will the focus peaking be visible on the electronic view finder as well ?
