Fine-tune focus for the current lens.

  • Use only as required.

  • We recommend that you perform fine-tuning at a focus distance you use frequently. If you perform focus-tuning at a short focus distance, for example, you may find it less effective at longer distances.

  • The camera can store values for up to 40 lens types.

  • If a value already exists for the current lens, you can choose whether to add a new value or overwrite the existing value.
