XE2S-MF Assist grayed out

[Lonerangefinder]

I feel like an idiot here—I’ve read the manual several times with camera in hand and tried Mr Google. So here goes: how does one access MF Assist to utilize manual focus assist such as focus peaking? When a access the menu and toggle down to #4 MF Assist -STD is grayed out. How do I activate that menu item?

 

Thanks, Allen

Are you in manual focus mode when you try this?

Yes. I am in manual focus.

what does it show when "drive" button is pressed? "still image" or something else?

It shows “night scene”. (Sliver of Moon with a star)

An update. I did a reset to factory default and I can now access manual focus. I have no clue which custom setting was the culprit.

that was the reason. the manual has the table which defines all these mutual exclusions.
