I shall have to have a play as I have very seldom used focus peaking since
initially experimenting. Off the top of my head  when set to automatic it
should start working as soon as you move the focus ring. That will not work
on adapted lenses though.
As far as I am aware the VF4 is not going to be compatible when we get the
next firmware. The very impressive Visoflex unit for the T definitely
cannot be used on the M.  In that instance there is no alternative Olympus
branded version either of course.


Cheers
