Adjust your diopter!

Posted by Dec 09, 2009 Uncategorized 21 Comments  

Perfect vision? So long ago, I can’t remember.

Auto focus helps but the camera’s adjustable diopter corrects our vision to achieve sharp focus.  Here’s how to do it!

Turn on the camera and put your eye to the viewfinder.  Turn the diopter adjustment wheel until the digital readout in the viewfinder is sharp – that is how you will know that your image is sharp!  Often the battery saving function in your camera will make the viewfinder reading disappear – just lightly depress the shutter button to make the readout reappear and resume fine tuning your diopter until the text in the LCD readout is as sharp as you can get it!

Recheck the sharpness routinely – handling the camera can make the diopter wheel go out of adjustment!

  17. Adjust the dioptric correction dial until the image looks sharp thats it.It is important for a couple reasons to have the camera directly up to your eye while shooting. By the way if your vision through the camera viewfinder seems blurry or unsharp be sure toadjust your camera to your eye.

  18. Adjusting your diopter.. Great idea :)

    Diopters are simple meniscus lenses which are placed in front of the camera lens and reduce the minimum focusing distance of the lens..
