Setting the Viewfinder Focus (very important for all users)

IMPORTANT: Adjust the Eyepiece Dioptric setting

(Initial Setup Only)

 This is a small rotary 

switch to the right of the viewfinder that can go up or down through several positions, and is designed 
to match the viewfinder optics to your vision. When this is set: if you see the subject in focus, the 
camera sees it in focus. If you normally wear corrective lenses, always wear them when taking a 
picture. To make this adjustment for your eye:

 

 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 

How to Set Eyepiece Focus 

 

1.

 

Move the rotary switch to one end of the range (all the way up 
or down). 

2.

 

Look through the viewfinder at a bright surface (such as a 
white wall) that is in the distance (this white surface should 
appear blurry). 

3.

 

While viewing through the viewfinder, move the switch up 
and down through the range of positions until you can 

see the 

black brackets ( [ ] ) in the viewfinder

 with 

maximum 

clarity

 and 

focus

4.

 

Note the optimal position of this switch for your vision, and 

always use this setting

. Once you set it for your eye’s vision, 

you do not need to change it. If someone else uses the camera, 
they need to find the correct setting for their vision (and when 
you resume using the camera, you need to return this switch 
to the setting you found for your vision).
