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.
2 Select Date/Time from the Main
menu.
The Date/Time screen appears.
There are six fields: year, month,
day, and hour, minutes, seconds.
3 Press and hold the SELECT
button and rotate the Quick
Control dial to change the
highlighted field.
4 Release the SELECT button to
accept the change and highlight
the next field.
To leave a field unchanged,
press and release the SELECT
button without using the dial.
☛ When the seconds field is
highlighted and you press the
SELECT button, the seconds
stop counting.
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.
