Peaking - Sony SLT-A58 Handbook

Direct manual focus
When a lens that is equipped with a direct manual focus function is
mounted and [Autofocus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF] or [Automatic
AF], you can make fine adjustments using the focusing ring after the focus
is locked (DT 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 SAM, etc. ). You can quickly focus on a
subject rather than using the manual focus from the beginning. This is
convenient in cases such as macro shooting.

Peaking

You can enhance the outline of in-focus ranges with a specific color in
manual focus. This function allows you to confirm the focus easily.

• Since the camera judges that sharp areas are in focus, the peaking level differs,
depending on the subject, shooting situation, or the lens used.
• The outline of in-focus ranges is not enhanced when the camera is connected using
an HDMI cable.
