Focus peaking completely changed the way I use my Nikon camera, here’s how

Focus peaking is designed to boost your accuracy when focusing manually. This visual aid is viewed via an electronic viewfinder or rear LCD screen and indicates areas of focus via a flat-coloured overlay. As the user twists the focus ring, the overlay shifts its position in real-time. Both the intensity and color of the overlay can be customized to suit a variety of shooting situations.

Digital Camera World's list of the best Nikon cameras all have focus peaking, and for that matter, every Z-Series camera has focus peaking, including the Nikon Z50 II. But you'll also find focus peaking on the Nikon D850, Nikon D780 and Nikon D6.
