[QUOTE="AlexandL, post: 190870, member: 16004"] Night vision isn't a problem for me. I can see incredibly well in the dark and my eyes adjust fairly quickly without much difficulty. My problem they just don't focus that well, not as well as they use to. :-) I wear bifocals but more often I wear contacts for long distance and reading glasses for up close. Full manual focus can be a little tricky for me but with the diopter set correctly and through much practice I'm able to properly set the focus manually and get a nice sharp in focus picture. My problem was using live mode in standard view and trying to focus on a tiny point of light, even the larger brighter objects were too difficult. Until it was pointed out that I could zoom the viewscreen, which I've been experimenting with. But I haven't had the same excellent conditions again yet, and it's not always easy romping around in a dark place late at night. So it may be a little while longer before I can make another attempt, though I'll be sure to post the results. [/QUOTE]
