[QUOTE="aroy, post: 540069, member: 16090"] Diopter setting is for the body. The eyepiece will modify the distance at which the image in view finder will be focused. My method is . Select a fast lens, say F1.8 (F1.2 is even better !) . Select Aperture Priority and set the lens at F1.8 . Place a graduated scale, say a normal foot ruler, on a wall at a distance of about 1m inclined towards you. . Use single point AF, AF-S . Select Central focus point . Point at a graduation and let the camera AF on it . Now adjust the diopter till the selected graduation is sharpest The reason for selecting a fast lens is that the DOF is narrow and the OOF is very evident at short focusing distances. [/QUOTE]
