Hi Jules,The Magnify function I was using with the EM-5 is not very good: at a minimum of 5X introduces too much vibration. The Digital TC, at 2X, is much better. The tests I did yesterday lead me to believe that it is even better when combining Digital TC with Peaking - that way, accurate focus is not dependent on my eyesight.
Regards
Jules
I tried the digital TC function the past weekend on my EM-5 and although it indeeds magnifies 2x the final effect as presented to user in the viewfinder is a degradation compared to not using the TC. Yes, the image is magnified but the quality is worse ("pixelized").
Also tried in combination with the Art 11 filter (as subsitute for real focus peaking) but the precision is not good enough to be used in our application area.
Lastly the only button that can be assigned is F1, which is kind of hard to access and operate while operating the shutter release button.
So back to where I started - using the F2 button for 5X, works great in combination with engaging IS.
But thanks for the hints anyway.
