If your LCD is not in focus, after fully extending with focus ring, you will
need to add a diopter. Take out the 0 diopter, which is already in for protection.
We recommend starting with the +1, if the LCD is still not in focus then
swap out the +1 for a +2 or +3 until focus is attained.
(A +4 and -1 Diopter are sold seperately, if needed.)
