Adjusting the Viewfinder Diopter

You can adjust the viewfinder diopter to suit your eyesight. 

The Eyecup F

R

 is attached to the viewfinder portion when the camera 

leaves the factory. The diopter can be adjusted with the eyecup attached. 

However, adjustment is easier with the eyecup removed. 

1

Remove the eyecup by pulling it out 

in the direction of the arrow. 

2

Look through the viewfinder, 

and slide the diopter adjustment 

lever left or right. 

Adjust the lever until the AF frame 

in the viewfinder is focused. 
Point the camera at a white wall or other 

bright and consistent surface. 

3

Align the eyecup with the groove on the viewfinder eyepiece 

and push it into the position.

You can also use the optional Magnifier Eyecup O-ME53 for more precise 

focusing.
