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.

[Fine-tune and save lens]
Fine-tune focus for the current lens. Press 1 or 3 to highlight items and press 4 or 2 to choose from values between +20 and -20.
The larger the fine-tuning value, the farther the focal point is from the lens; the smaller the value, the closer the focal point.
The display shows the current and previous values.
The camera can store values for up to 40 lens types.
If a lens for which values have already been saved is used, the fine-tuning values will be overwritten.
[Default]
Choose the fine-tuning values for lenses for which no values have previously been saved using [Fine-tune and save lens]. Press 4 or 2 to choose from values between +20 and -20.
[List saved values]
List values saved using [Fine-tune and save lens]. Highlighting a lens in the list and pressing 2 displays a [Choose lens number] dialog.
