How does Leica m24 peak focus work?

as a focusing method, peak focusing will bring a lot of convenience to your photography. Peak focus is to highlight the areas with the highest contrast in the picture, and these red highlights are called peaks.

select an object to be photographed. at this time, no peak can be found on the picture due to unsuccessful focusing. With the rotation of the focus ring, the camera will automatically identify the position of the focus point and display it on the screen in an enlarged way. The closer it is to focus, the more obvious the red particles appear on the screen.

therefore, whether the camera is in focus accurately can be judged by observing the density of the peak appearing on the screen.
