Ok, just played with the focus drag. When it is disabled, the touchscreen will NOT respond to taps. When enabled, with the upper right corner as the active section, and my RIGHT eye to the EVF, I have no problems dragging the focus point at all! My right eye is "center" of the camera, so my nose is well left of the "active" quarter.

Tried in one-shot mode, Av. Let me know if there's anything else I can try for you!

Thanks I need to play with this, as mainly use view finder ....

So by limiting it to the upper right corner, the screen ignores the inadvertent contact of MY too-big--nose on the remaining 75%...the 25% remaining lets you drag the focus point anywhere on the EVF. It works for me, anyway...

I haven't tried the tap to focus, didn't know about that. I will play with that today!

I'm confused about this .... do you have your eye to the viewfinder and drag the focus point, or use the touch screen to set focus point? It's probably the main thing I'm puzzled with so far -used to the 70D method ....

No problem, glad to help. It IS an expensive camera, however I am pleased to say that I don't have ANY buyers remorse. I'm just having fun playing with it all...small m lenses, big L lenses, and manual focus lenses old (canon FD) and new (Rokinon 12 f2). Kid in a candy store!

I'm the same ... know I'll get the focus sorted sometime. Picked up my 70D today, and wondered how I've managed to carry it around so much!

If I take enough pictures, at least one of them should turn out...maybe

Yes, right eye to view finder, right thumb to touchscreen. With the upper right quarter of the touchscreen "active" I can drag the focus point wherever I want. You can see the focus rectangle moving in the EVF. I ALWAYS shoot with the EVF unless I'm setting up a long exposure on the tripod. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that - will look at setting the touch screen up like that. So far been using the AF selector to centre it. but don't always want centre focus point. Yes I only use screen for long exposure and sometimes macro on tripod, but haven't done much of that for a while. Though this camera sounds ideal for it with the focus peaking thingy

Random at about 2pm today with the 15 - 45 f/3.5 - 6.3. It's very dry here suddenly - another East Coast drought in the making.

Sounds like a good quick way to move focus points once you've got an understanding of how it functions (and have disabled the "nose" landing area!)

Thanks for explaining it

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Beautiful Rose, the shadows on the hills are really nice! My M5 is currently wearing the 15-45 as well But we're socked in these days with doom-gloom-overcast skies

Well I bought the M5 solely for the 400/5.6=super concise wildlife rig that doesn't break the back.
IQ of this combo surely suits me and what I shoot.
So one of the first images of 2017, a Downy on birch

That looks good Robert. I see iso 800 what did you do for noise?

You say 800 like that is high! It is a rare day here I'm under 1600 for anything; OK, to answer your question,
I use Topaz Denoise.
