Help with Nikon D850 Focus Peaking
Feb 13, 2023 16:15:52 #
Just trying to get used to my new camera and trying out focus peaking. I have color set to RED and while in Live view I hit the info button and select 1, 2 or 3 in focus peaking. I am getting nothing when I try and use it. Is there another setting that I have to make? I can't find it in the manual.

I use focus peaking on my D850. The peaking color shows when you achieve focus on that part of the subject. If it isn't in focus, you won't see the color. Also make sure the color is different from the subject so it is easily seen. I always use focus peaking when I shoot macro subjects. It works well as the color shows you where the subject is in sharp focus. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I found the camera was working fine. The scene was apparently too bright. Once I aimed at a darker image I could see the red edges.
