Einst_Stein Posted June 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've never noticed this, but today I find my M9 frame line will move when I turn the lens focusing ring. When focusing moves closer, the frame moves towards up/left. Focusing farther, the frame moves towards bottom right. Is this normal? or my M9 has problem?

adan Posted June 29, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2014 Movement is normal - it corrects for parallax (the fact that your eye and the lens are seeing the world from different locations - and more so at close distances). The movement as you describe it is wrong, but may be your terminology. The lines should be moving down and to the right as you focus CLOSER (i.e. - move the lens out away from the camera). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adan is right, but it also depends on what you have been drinking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted June 30, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I am on the other end of the globe. Well in that case, like me, you need to also hold the camera upside down! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldash Posted July 4, 2014 Share #10 Posted July 4, 2014 The Australian/NZ (and Antarctic) models M9 are built upside down for people who walk on their hands and use the camera with their feet. Northerners buying cameras from down under need only rotate the camera 180 degrees before using it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his last visit even David Atteborough though we were all a little Batty! Edited July 5, 2014 by erl 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
