Diopter Adjustment

An easy troubleshoot tip for blurry images is to adjust the camera’s viewfinder to your eyes.

It’s called a Diopter Adjustment and is found on most of today’s DSLRs and in some less expensive cameras as well.

The diopter adjustment lets you manually adjust the optical viewfinder to best suit your own vision. This is great for photographers that wear glasses because it can be hard to look through a viewfinder with your glasses on.

Look for a knob or a dial somewhere around the optical viewfinder.

While diopter adjustments will not be able to compensate for all vision problems, it will at least help get you in the right direction.

If your vision is really bad then contact lenses or corrective surgery are your best options.

I recommend that you take the Lens off to do the adjustment. Look at the focus points and adjust the diopter to make them as sharp as possible.
