Canon hybrid VF patent

Another trick is to use a black and white creative style, have the effect show in the EVF and use yellow focus peaking.

I'm slightly color blind so this setup enabled me to see the focus peaking under most conditions with the 35/1.2 and 125/2.5. On UWA lenses I have to use the zooming feature as the focus peaking zone isn't fine enough to nail the focus on close ranges.

Arend:  I for sure will keep trying! A lot of the "problem" is simply the new-ness of a new camera. It takes a couple of weeks to build confidence about finding settings and so forth. And lots & lots of experimentation. I'm getting there.

JA:  Cool trick! I will also try this.

i have mixed feelings about this. i like my VF to be as uncluttered as possible

I feel the same way.

I longing for the day when a force field will replace the moving mirror.

It also helps to have a dirty focusing screen ... makes it much easier for the eye to align itself to the slice of the 3-D aerial image coinciding with the ground glass.
