3Fine Adjustment of AF’s Point of Focus
Clearing All AF Microadjustment data
When [
Clear all] appears at the bottom of the screen, pressing the <L> button will clear all the adjustment data set for [All by same amount] and [Adjust by lens].
Notes for AF Microadjustment
The AF’s point of focus will vary slightly depending on the subject conditions, brightness, zoom position, and other shooting conditions. Therefore, even if you perform AF Microadjustment, focus may still not be achieved at the suitable position.
The adjustment data will be retained even if you clear all the camera settings (p.58). However, the setting itself will be [Disable].
It is best to make the adjustment at the actual location where you will shoot. This will make the adjustment more precise.
Using a tripod when making the adjustment is recommended.
To check the result of the adjustment, setting the image size to JPEG L (Large) and the JPEG quality (compression) to 8 or higher is recommended.
The adjustment amount of one step varies depending on the maximum aperture of the lens. Keep adjusting, shooting, and checking the focus repeatedly to adjust the AF’s point of focus.
AF adjustment is not possible for Live View shooting’s [Live mode] and [uLive mode] (contrast AF).
