[blackfox]

I have the omd1-mkii and have just bought a M/F 7 artisans macro lens for it , I have just tried to employ focus peaking with it with zero success , followed all the online instructions and zero..zilch.. nothing at all ... does this function only work with Olympus lenses .. or am I doing something wrong .I have used focus peaking before but not sure what body it was with ? HELP

I've just tried my 7 Artisans 7.5mm fisheye on my Mk2 and focus peaking works fine.
I have it mapped onto function button 2 and use that to toggle peaking on and off.
Cog-B-Button Function.

As peak4 has said, focus peaking has to be assigned to a function button.

as mentioned by shaw, manual lenses do not have any connections to tell the camera that it's mounted. so you need to assign peaking assist as well as focus magnification assist to buttons.

On Fn2 E-M1 II, it is by default 'Multi-Function' which includes both Focus Peaking & Magnify. Just hold down Fn2 button & rotate rear wheel to select the desired function from those available which can be set up in Menu D1 Multifunction Settings. Pressing Fn2 after selecting then activates it.
