jbl Posted January 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have a relatively new MP (a few months old or so). Just today I noticed when focusing on something with a heart shape on it, I was able to align the RF horizontally, but vertically it was a little off. Does this mean my RF needs to be adjusted? How likely is this to affect focus? Thanks, Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted January 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2010 I have a relatively new MP (a few months old or so). Just today I noticed when focusing on something with a heart shape on it, I was able to align the RF horizontally, but vertically it was a little off. Does this mean my RF needs to be adjusted? Yes. How likely is this to affect focus? Pretty unlikely. The vertical alignment is independent of the distance calibration. It's possible for a shock - e.g. dropping the camera - to knock both off at the same time, but it's also common to find very small errors in the vertical alignment that have no effect at all on focus. The test is whether the sharpest area in your pictures is where you intended it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted January 24, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2010 A vertical displacement will slow you down. You can check the horizontal calibration of range finder and lens by focusing on a white cottage or TV broadcasting mast > 5km away. The adjustment is not difficult, if there is only one error.
