Dioptric Adjustment of the Viewfinder

The viewfinder has a built-in dioptric adjustment mechanism that lets you adjust the eyesight correction to achieve a sharp viewfinder image. This allows near-sighted or far- sighted users to capture images without wearing glasses. The diopter can be adjusted within a range of –3 to +1 dpt.

Look into the viewfinder and turn the Dioptric Adjustment dial in either direction until the five focusing points or the fine spot metering area mark appear sharp.

☛ The adjustment range is from –3 dpt to +1 dpt (diopter). For adjustment exceeding this range, use one of the Dioptric Adjustment Lenses available from Canon.
