a long time ago I said this, I will describe again my technique:     I set up the camera to shoot RAW and bw jpeg fine, with focus peaking red, in lowest setting. In the view finder you see bw, when in focus red edges are also seen. This makes it easy, quick, the RAW files are found to be in sharp focus.
