View Magnification with Manual Focus Lenses (Canon R8)

[mmbrombe]

I have an old Helios 44m 58mm F 2 which I enjoy using with my Canon R8 via adapter. It's not the sharpest lens around but I just love its "analog" look and feel. To help focusing I am able to set focus peaking to red-high, however I am unable to magnify the view while manually focusing. I've searched the manual and internet for any help, but no success so far. If my memory serves me right (no guarantee) I am pretty sure I could use magnification on my old Fuji camera with the same lens. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Marcelo

Greetings,

I haven't tested this with a 3rd party MF lens, but here are the instructions for using magnification in live view on the R8.
