4Make the adjustment.

For a zoom lens, turn the <5> dial and select the wide-angle (W) or telephoto

(T)end. Press <0> to turn off the purple frame and make the adjustment. Turn the <5> dial to adjust as desired, then press <0>. The adjustable range is ±20 steps. Adjusting toward “–: ” will shift the point of focus in front of the standard point of focus.

Adjusting toward “+: ” will shift the point of focus to the rear of the standard point of focus.

For a zoom lens, repeat step 4 and adjust it for the wide-angle (W) and telephoto (T) ends.

After completing the adjustment, press the <M> button to return to the screen in step 1.

Turn the <5> dial to select [Adjust by lens], then press <0>. The menu will reappear.

5Check the result of the adjustment.

Take a picture and play back the image (p.246) to check the adjustment result. When the resulting picture is focused in front of the targeted point, adjust toward the “+: ” side. When the resulting picture is focused behind the targeted point, adjust toward the “– : ” side.

If necessary, repeat the adjustment.

When shooting with the intermediate range (focal length) of a zoom lens, the AF’s point of focus is corrected relative to the adjustments made for the wide-angle and telephoto ends. Even if only the wide-angle or telephoto end has been adjusted, a correction will be made automatically for the intermediate range.
