For manual focus lenses shooters, there are 3 features which are very useful to get accurate focus:
1) Magic zoom. A square box will show the magnified view of the center AF. You can see clearly when the subject is in focus. The box will also have a green border when subject is in focus.This is imo the most accurate method. However, the downside is a portion of liveview is taken up by the magic box.
2) focus peaking. This may be similiar to NEX implementation.
3) trap focus. By half pressing the shutter and turning the focus ring, the shutter will snap when the subject is in focus.
This ML is not just for videographers. There are some pretty useful features for still photograph. Will feedback as I dive into the menu. Definitely added a new lease of life to 5D2.
How about ML in 50D? anyone have any try on it.
What the basic steps get the ML in eos camera body.
by the CF card need to have ML or what other steps?
Interest to inject the ML in the 50D camera body.

i am using a m42 mount Pentacon 135mm full manual lens.
My focus screen hasn't arrived yet
Suddenly it seems redundant
Because using focus trap i just slowly rotate my very precise mf focus ring...hit focus = snap! Shiokness

sure focua trap works without LV? I have tried and mine doesn't work. Any other setting on top of turning on focus trap?
