I am intermittently trying to use external viewfinders on the M240, but I am told that the current software does not support the VF-4. So all bets are off, perhaps this will change when shortly, perhaps on 5/24, the anticipated M240 software update will be issued.... I am convinced that when I get all this working, together with focus peaking operative, many focussing issues will be greatly improved. many thanks for your help, Steve > > Hope that helps. > > On May 7, 2014, at 9:23 AM, Steve Barbour <steve.barbour at gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I am using the M240 in advanced mode (EVF 4) with focus peaking in red. >> Coming to terms with the controls and the menu, for the shooting I want >> to do, I have a question remaining re the focus peaking setup.
