Do you guys use Focus Peaking in Magic Lantern? Do you find it accurate?
Depends on the lens that is used, in particular the DOF.
I tend to use the Magic Zoom more and more. It replaces the standard zoom in function and is pretty similar to the way you would focus manually on a analog DSLR.
I checked out Magic Zoom and it seems to be a perfect solution for manual focusing. Will try it out this weekend.
Magic zoom is great, but I had problems with it stopping recording (processor overload?) when used in conjunction with the live histogram. Maybe that's fixed in recent builds...

I never use the histogram, but use the different display setups that you can customize and save and switch between those.
On my T2i, display setup 1 has zebras switched ON. I use that display setup to check for blacks & highlights. In practice, I adjust either aperture or my Vari ND to make sure there's no blown out highlights.
Once I start shooting, I move to display setup 2, which is identical to display setup 1 except for zebras (which is switched off).
As picture profile, I use flaat2, which is a good middleground between shooting with Neutral (modified) and a flat profile like Technicolor. I have plenty of leeway when grading this way. Flaat2 is highly recommended. It leaves skin tones intact (I think it's based on the Portrait picture style)
I always use this, IMO its working perfect. 3x zoom won't work me while using this. even trap focus work perfectly for moving objects. I am not using lcd view finder any more.Originally Posted by Lunchbox
