malumbo_simwaka Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 <p>Am using canon 1000D and since yesterday am failing to have a clear focus on manual mode. Am not sure weather something is wrong with the lens or body. Anyone with a solution please :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 <p>Have you accidentally moved the little dioptre adjustment wheel next to the eyepiece, Malumbo? That has to be perfectly adjusted to your eye for manual focus. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffm Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Just to expand briefly on Keith's advice: look through the viewfinder and half-press the shutter button to activate the display. Turn the dioptre adjustment wheel until the display is sharp to your eye, and the image in the viewfinder should be sharp, too (when the lens is properly focussed.)
