Focus Peaking Issue? (GFX50R)

Hello all. GFX50R here and here's my dilemma, hoping someone here can help. When I'm using manual focus and have the focus peaking set to red, the peaking is only red while the sims are in color. When I change the film sim to a B&W mode (acros & monochrome) the focus peaking only shows in white, no matter what color I set it to.  Is this how the focus peaking works on these bodies?  Does this happen with both native glass and vintage lenses? I currently do not have a native GFX lens to see if that's the issue so maybe it's just a vintage lens use problem?  I'm on my 2nd GFX50R body and both had this "issue".  Maybe it's just something I have set wrong but I doubt it. After owning 10+ Fujifilm bodies old and new, I've never seen this before.  I've been scouring the webs to see if it's a firmware issue but this was standard on both my bodies.  

Any insight would help..

Hello, I just pulled out my 50r and using the 50mm lens I tested the peaking.  First, I flipped manual focus on and tried it in the color modes - Astia, Velvia, Provia.  I have my manual focus peak to High and Red.

I then switched to MONOCHROME w Red Filter and and Acros w Red filter and my peaking was still on RED High.  I then switched over to plain Acros, then plain Monochrome and my Peaking was still Red High.

If I come across a fix I'll post it.

      Introduce Yourself

      By WildGoose · Posted

      Hi I am just following the lead to introduce myself. I go by the name Wild Goose. Strictly I am not a newbie, I have been on this site before when I owned X100F and XT2 but I would like to start again. I committed a heinous crime and drifted into another camera brand for a while, so I left this forum. However, I love Fuji too much and I have sold all the non Fuji gear and am awaiting the arrival of the new X.E5.  I feel it might be a ‘Marmite’ camera (love/hate) but I think for now, I love it. To me it is the best of the X100F with interchangeable lenses.  I cannot wait to get back to using Fuji again. I trained in the photo industry and have boring old qualifications that mean very little in this digital world. I first worked as a black and white printer and later as a photographer, press and commercial. I even have a Kodak award for my time as an assistant photographer but those days are long gone. I have been out of the industry for a few decades, so those days are distant memories and I am a true enthusiast.  I am happy to chat photography with others, although I am not highly technical, I was back in the day when I was printing etc, I am more artistic now and enjoy the creativity that Fuji gives me over other brands. I recall days of shooting bluebells with Velvia trying the capture the right colour compared to ektachrome and I am looking forward to switching the ‘films’ on 5 and seeing what that gives me. Cheers  WG

      Eyecap magnifier for the viewfinder

      By k_s_m · Posted

      hi, I'm about to buy either the X-E4 or the X-E5 model, but I find the viewfinder to be quite small, especially for manual focusing, which I plan to use. Do you know any third-party accessories that could be attached to the eyecap to magnify the viewfinder field? Thanks!

      Considering switching to GFX100S II

      By Thomas Kyhn · Posted

      Hello, I currently use a Canon EOS R5 for architectural photography. I'm considering switching to a Fujifilm GFX100S II. Are there any disadvantages I should be aware of? (Apart from there being only one Fujifilm tilt-shift lens currently.) Thomas

      XH2S inoperable when connecting external monitor HELP

      By murkyburky · Posted

      I had a feelworld connected to the xh2s and it was working beautifully. I was using a USB-A to USB-C cable to power the feelworld monitor. Then I switched to a Dtap to 12v cable. And now the whole camera becomes inoperable when I try to connect through HDMI. I even bought a new HDMI cable cause I read somewhere that a 2.0 hdmi cable may fix the problem, but that did not work. Reset the camera to default, did not work. I feel like I tried every menu setting on both the camera and monitor too...HELP PLEEEASE. This issue is super annoying, that it was working and now it's not. For a nearly 3000$ camera, its sad this kinda issue is occurring.

      Can't pair my XT-3 with my Pixel 9 Pro smartphone

      I hope you are able to get this working in your favor. As a bonus, the card readers mostly are faster and easier ways to move images from the camera to the computer.
