Peaking not working

[Lor]

For some reason my EX1 does not show peaking anymore? Where and how do I get it work again? It was working but not sure when peaking was no longer working. The zebra is working fine though.

It's within one of the menus. Instruction manual explains where it is; for example, you can set the color of the peaking from within the menu and turn it on/off.

You need to have the aperture open to have enough light to get it to work. Sometimes when I'm stopped down I forget this aspect. Opening up "activates" it again.

I switched my EX1 peaking color from the factory default to yellow -- it's a huge help.

ya i set mine to red and max. makes for razor sharp focus when using a 35mm adapter.

Thanks for the responses. I set my to red and the aperture is set to 2.8. Does that still mean it's closed?

Check that you didn't press the peaking button on the side of the camera by accident. I do this more often than I'd like just by handling the camera!

Thanks! I'll check that tonight.
