I have just bought a Sony NEX5 and have downloaded the Version 4 firmware but still do not have the Peaking Level and Peaking Colour items in the set up, can anyone help me??

First check the firmware version is Version 04: -

1. Select Menu --> Setup --> Version.
2. The firmware version is displayed.

If Version 04 is successfully installed, download the manual for the new features - Picture Effect, Peaking Level and Peaking Colour - here: -

Just remember that to set Peaking to "ON" you must have selected Manual Focus first in the Menu -> Camera -> AF/MF Select.  If you have AF Selected the Peaking Level cannot be activated.
