It seems 2011Dec22.600D101.alex doesn't have a screenshot feature. I could do a video of the LCD as I turn the focus ring if that helps.

General Help Q&A / Focus peaking behavior difference
April 18, 2013, 09:59:19 PM
Hi,
I feel the focus peak feature works much better on my T3i/600D with ML version 2011Dec22.600D101.alex than on my 5DMk2 with ML version v2.2.5D2.212. With the T3i, as I turn the focus ring and the subject comes into focus, it just goes wild with blinkies and focus is very accurate. On the 5D2 it sort of blinks feebly over a wide-ish range, making it hard to focus well. Anyone else have a similar experience?
I'm using the same focal length and aperture (which is what drives DoF) on both, pointing to the same subject, and setting Focus Peak parameters to "D1xy, 1.0, local" on both. I briefly considered the possibility that with the t3i's 1.6x factor I'm simply seeing the subject more magnified which is helping, but even zooming out the lens 1.6x I feel the distinct difference in experience persists.
Thanks for any help. The only idea I have is to go back to the older version of ML on the 5D2 and see if it helps, but it doesn't sound fun.
