[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 441105, member: 15302"] I have the Reikan Focal software, but now prefer to fine-tune my lenses manually. 1) Get a very stable tripod and mount the camera and lens, 2) Put the lens in manual focus 3) Turn on Live View and zoom in as far as possible. I mean push the + to zoom the Live View, not zoom the lens. 4) Achieve perfect focus manually on the Live View screen, while it is zoomed in. The focus you see in Live View is the same focus that is directly on the sensor. 5) Turn off Live View but DO NOT MOVE THE CAMERA. 6) Still in manual focus mode, look in the view finder and push the shutter button (or BBF if that's how you roll). 7) If the AF indicator in the viewfinder shows the green circle, the AF system agrees with your manual focus. If the AF system shows an arrow left or right, you need to adjust the lens calibration until the circle appears. You have now trained the AF system to see perfect focus as you have set it in Live View. [/QUOTE]
