Adjusting Diopter Correction
Those of us with less than perfect eyesight can often benefit from a little optical cor-
rection in the viewfinder. Your contact lenses or glasses may provide all the correction
you need, but if you are a glasses wearer and want to use the EOS 60D without your
glasses, you can take advantage of the camera’s built-in diopter adjustment, which can
be varied from –3 to +1 correction. Press the shutter release halfway to illuminate the
indicators in the viewfinder, then rotate the diopter adjustment wheel next to the
viewfinder (see Figure 1.7) while looking through the viewfinder until the indicators
appear sharp.

diopter correc-
tion from –3 to
+1 can be
dialed in.
If the available correction is insufficient, Canon offers 10 different Dioptric Adjustment
Lens Series E correction lenses for the viewfinder window. If more than one person uses
your 60D, and each requires a different diopter setting, you can save a little time by not-
ing the number of clicks and direction (clockwise to increase the diopter power; coun-
terclockwise to decrease the diopter value) required to change from one user to the other.
There are 18 detents in all.
Inserting a Memory Card
You can’t take photos without a memory card inserted in your EOS 60D (although there
is a Release Shutter without Card entry in Shooting 1 menu that enables/disables shut-
ter release functions when a memory card is absent—learn about that in Chapter 3).
So, your final step will be to insert a memory card. Slide the door on the right side of
the body toward the back of the camera to release the cover, and then open it. (You
should only remove the memory card when the camera is switched off, but the 60D will
remind you if the door is opened while the camera is still writing photos to the mem-
ory card.)
