CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Ok so I've just got my first pair of real glasses and its shocking how bad my reading eyesight had got I can now read labels again, and my phone and iPad are so much clearer! My question relates to using my camera, how do I know that what I think is in focus is really in focus? Should I be using my glasses? My eyesight is ok for most normal things, it's just the reading/computer screen range that has gone to pot :laugh: Edited March 14, 2013 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm short sighted and if I don't have my glasses on things are out of focus. However looking at the LCD everything is crisp without glasses. When you are looking down a lens (or microscope) you are looking "into the distance" so if your far sighted it won't effect your shooting - just don't delete anything without reviewing it with glasses on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ok thanks RV, I think I was thinking about it too much and confusing myself :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I only know because one day I had a major tantrum thinking my camera was broken since no matter what the viewfinder was out of focus - until someone pointed out I wasn't wearing glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now you've confused me :laugh: are you saying you do wear glasses when looking through the viewfinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yes - because I have problems seeing things that are far away. :) If you have no issue seeing things that are far away you have no need for glasses when looking through the viewfinder. Clear as mud? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ah yes, now I've understood that short sighted means you can see close things ok :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ah yes, now I've understood that short sighted means you can see close things ok :laugh: Yes! To me thats quite stupid and I always get confused - I had to double check before I typed it and I have the condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) There's a dial with a + and - sign by the view finder. You can adjust it to suit your eyesight. I now need reading glasses so it's very hard for me to see what my photos look like when I check what I've just taken as I'm no good with things close up anymore. I used to have amazing vision, even optometrists were impressed. Edited March 14, 2013 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks Kirislin, I'll try the diopter adjustment this weekend. Yup I used to have great vision too, but as I hit 45 this year I have finally had to admit it isn't what it used to be :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
