How did you get magnified view in Manual focus and focus peaking?

press the button to the right of the blue magnifying glass to magnify. Focus peaking is turned on via a menu option

I use my AEL button for AF/on. When I try to do MF the screen magnifies the subject and does not display any colors. I have Focus Peaking set to high and color red. I must be doing something wrong.

If you've got peaking turned on thru the menu, try looking at the LCD screen on back vice using the eye level viewfinder. I find that sometimes I can see the focus peaking better on the larger screen

I hate the EV dial on the Sony. It should at least be adjustable so in M mode you can use one for the shutter speed and one for the f-stop. Using EV in M is meaningless anyway. (Maybe I need to check it again. It seems so stupid when I write it that I can't believe that is what they do.)

Thank heavens they do change the function of the dial when you go to M mode. I haven't used M mode on the NEX-7 enough to know what it does. So one dial controls shutter speed and the other f-stop in M mode, as they should. The LCD gives the meter readout as a number of EVs. The EVF shows a meter so you adjust exposure.

Try a rubber lens hood with a screw size that will fit the larger filters female thread. You may be able to find a ridged version that will offer some protection for the front of the lens.
This link has a few examples.

He has an 18-200, not an 55-210 lens...
Anyone have an opinion on the best IQ between these two lenses?

The 18-200 is far better than the 55-210 which is just OK.
Thank you

I am thinking of the Sony Alpha A6000 as a nice little camera to go with my Canon equipment for walk around/street photography--Amazon Prime has the camera and two lenses for considerably cheaper than a number of other mirrorless cameras and it has very good ratings---Any of you own this one??
you cant go wrong with any sony product
