focus assist: Make it better

[Obin Olson]

LOVE this black and white with red idea. But it needs work

1 The red edges should ONLY show up on stuff that is close to being in focus not the entire frame,

2 Make the red edges a tad bit bigger or let the user adjust them so that on the tiny RED LCD you can see them!

I love it too. It actually shows me the DOF I'm moving through. The intensity/color is too muted this iteration. I'd like the ability to:

adjust intensity of peaking
change peaking color
Quick on/off from color viewfinder to check focus.

We're getting a lot of threads that all say the same thing... Thicker lines, and people LOVE IT!

That's good

This focus feature sounds like a really sweet implementation. Anyone take a picture of what the GUI looks like when the feature is active? Thanks in advance if someone can post.

I think they made the focus assist on a 24inch DELL screen, as it looks fine on a big output but not on the RED LCD....need option to change size of the red lines..:)

ROCK ON!

I'll have to try that. I think once it gets fine tuned a lot of people are going to be appreciative of it. And the cool thing is anyone who's gotten used to the JVC, Panasonic or Sony implementation will pick up RED and feel right at home.

This is all based on Graeme's magic focus, yes?

We didn't test this the other day - is more or less coloured peaking? The EX-1 has coloured peaking (with customisable colour, which is very handy) making the image B&W obviously helps even more to accentuate the detail.

Be 'ware - When in magic focus, the image recorded to disc/cf is black and white, just like your display. This seems like a non-trival issue if one wants to record while using magic focus.

I had to retreat to the excellent focus assist graph to record in color.
