Once the symbology is sharp following a diopter adjustment, adjust the manual focus as needed to ensure you can get the image in focus. Only then can you achieve accurate manual focus (unless you have electronic focus aids). If the symbology is not sharp, you’ll need to adjust the diopter. Rotate the wheel until everything is sharp. Are both the viewfinder image and symbology blurry to your eye? Then you need to adjust the diopter.
If you have a manual focus camera, attempt to focus the image (using electronic focus indicators, if available). If it is an autofocus camera, activate the autofocus. If you can, put the camera on a tripod and point it toward a bright scene with sharp straight edges and a fair amount of contrast, something that the camera focus on easily. There are different techniques for adjusting the diopter, but this is one that should work well:
Rotating this doesn’t affect the focus of your image but just how your eye sees through the viewfinder. How do you adjust your diopter?ĭifferent viewfinders have different adjustments, but there is likely a small wheel or slide near the viewfinder (sometimes labeled with a + and -) that allows you to adjust the view. If both the accurately “focused” image and the symbology are out of focus, you need to adjust your diopter. If the numbers, letters, and grid of your viewfinder are tack sharp and the image is not, the camera is out of focus or the autofocus is not working. The only way to tell if your diopter is accurately adjusted for your eyes is to look around the viewfinder symbology (grid, exposure information, focus points, digital data, etc.) and see if that is in focus. How do you know your diopter needs to be adjusted? The option to adjust your viewfinders focus helps you adjust the focus to your own eye, it allows you to customize the viewfinder so that you can see a clear, focused image inside the viewfinder without using eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct your vision. Because of this, your camera’s viewfinder likely has a diopter adjustment. Your view into the camera might be blurry even when the camera’s lens is in focus. For those without “normal” 20/20 vision, this may be a problem when you look through a camera’s viewfinder-either optical or electronic. If you are ever in a situation where your pictures are coming out sharp but you’re looking through your viewfinder and it appears blurry, this might be because your viewfinder may be out of focus itself, this is called the diopter.
