nicci78 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted December 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) It may be focus shift from the lens. Try to move to magnification box in the right place first. Then avoid to recompose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 10, 2019 Share #22 Posted December 10, 2019 Well, yes, focus-recompose introduces its own geometrical focus shift. If one does not change the aperture, the lens cannot exhibit focus shift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted December 16, 2019 Share #23 Posted December 16, 2019 This focus peaking at full aperture is one of the things I like about the CL. You can focus through the DOF until it settles at full peaking in the area you want. Eg. one head in a crowd, one tree in a forest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no other solutions. I find focus peaking to have a negative impact - without it I can see better what is in focus and what is not. With it on, it is harder to see the details in the image. Focus peaking makes me feel good by indicating in the viewfinder that stuff is in focus, but it's far too liberal - on review, lots of the stuff it identified is actually out of focus. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong - it's the same with all the cameras I've used it on, Sony and Leica.

It highlights the maximum contrast edges in the image field. It's up to you to determine whether what is highlighted indicates actual best focus. Yes, in many circumstances I find focus peaking gets in the way. That's when I turn it off. It works best when the lens being used has good contrast at the particular aperture you're using to view the scene with, and when the subject has useful edge texture to gauge the value of the edge detection with. I use it in other circumstances to get a rough estimate of where my focus zone is, which is what it was designed to do for motion capture ... It was not intended to be a tool for precision critical focusing. If you don't find it gets what you want done, either you've not learned how to interpret the display it provides or it is inappropriate for the lens and scene you're using it on. IN either case, and if you don't like it, just turn it off and don't worry about it. Focus assist magnification is a better tool for achieving critical focus in most cases. It has its limitations too, and requires that you develop techniques and skills for its use. It also is inappropriate in some situations. An any cameras...

This way peaking sensitivity can be set to low. That's what i'm doing at least and i use the white color for peaking. FWIW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotium Posted December 24, 2019 Share #32 Posted December 24, 2019 Hmmm. I'll play around with that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
