Focus Peaking

Focus Peaking

Technical

A digital focusing aid that highlights in-focus areas of an image in real-time, particularly useful in manual focusing.

Detailed Explanation

Focus peaking is a modern digital focusing assistance feature that highlights the edges of in-focus areas with a bright color (often red, yellow, or white). This technology makes manual focusing much more precise and efficient, especially useful in mirrorless cameras and when using adapted manual focus lenses. The feature is particularly valuable in macro photography, portraiture, and video work where precise focus is critical. Users can often adjust both the sensitivity of the peaking and the highlight color to suit their needs and viewing conditions.
