A7R II focus peaking quality & audio output return

Hello,

I'm lurking over an A7R II, and have a question about peaking, because I've had the Sony A7S which had a very unconvenient feature:
- When shooting video in stills mode (which has many advantages as Andrew Reid said), the peaking is damn precise, and when you zoom in for focusing, the image is crisp and sharp, BUT you don't have any audio return on helmet (grrr)
- When shooting video in video mode, the peaking becomes muddy and less precise, and when you zoom in for focusing, image is also muddy and unclear; BUT you get audio output return.

Does already know if these issues have been solved on the A7R II?

Thank you in advance for your replies :)

Hi Sam,

Thanx for your reply, yes I know but when you do so you don't have any audio from the jack output coming so it's impossible to monitor with a helmet (which is far more reliable than meters)
 
Was curious about this, I use video mode almost exclusively (with a Ninja Assassin so the inferior focus peaking of the video mode isn't an issue). So just tested, audio meters AND headphone monitoring become available once you hit record.

No idea if this has been solved with a7s2. Guess would be no...

Solvable with a firmware update i'm sure, whether they'll do it is another question!
