Dioptric Adjustment
If the camera’s dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a clear viewfinder image,
using Dioptric Adjustment Lens E (10 types) is recommended. (
→p.167)
By adjusting the diopter to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses), the viewfinder
image will look clearer. The camera’s adjustable dioptric range is –3 to +1 dpt.
Remove the eyecup.
While grasping both sides of the eyecup, slide it
upward to remove.
1
Turn the dioptric adjustment knob.
Turn the knob to the right or left until the AF point or
the center spot metering circle looks sharp in the
viewfinder.
2
Reattach the eyecup.

Holding the Camera
To obtain sharp pictures, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.
