Remove the lens cap from the front of the lens. Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button halfway to display picture data at the bottom of the viewfinder. In dim lighting, the built-in flash may pop up; ignore it for now and close the unit after you finish adjusting the viewfinder. Rotate the diopter adjustment dial until the Corrective lenses (available separately; 0 Other Accessories) can be used to further adjust viewfinder diopter. Before attaching a diopter-adjustment viewfinder lens, remove the DK-17F viewfinder eyepiece by closing the viewfinder shutter to release the eyepiece lock ( ) and then grasping the eyepiece lightly between your finger and thumb and A locking diopter knob is an exciting addition to Monarch M7 binoculars, a feature not previously available at this price point.

When adjusting a camera diopter (or a diopter on a set of binoculars, for instance) you should adjust the diopter to make the image sharp and keep adjusting until it goes back out of focus.

Every mirrorless & superzoom / bridge camera I have purchased over the last decade or so has had the eyepiece dioptre adjustment fitted. It's not something to worry about ~ and a qwik sqwiz at any DP Review camera review will show it in the body images. The -2.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment range of the viewfinder optics isn't nearly enough to accommodate my own very nearsighted (20:180) vision, but is more than ample to handle my "computer glasses Next, the diopter adjustment may well be a bit off, especially if you're holding the camera even a bit closer or farther from your eye than the baseline calibration is set for. BTW, for those who care :-), "diopter" is the inverse of the focal length of a lens. A lens of -3 diopters has a focal length of -3.33 meters. Did you find a fix for this. My Rebel XS has exactly the same issue which was caused by a good hard drop from 5 feet. I can hear something "flop" when tipping the camera slightly up which causes the diopter to be focused. The distance to the viewfinder is very close and that makes a difference for those that have great vision at normal distances, but have to use the diopter for the camera viewfinder. If the diopter doesn't have enough adjustment for you, then there is an external diopter adjustment accessory that fits the viewfinder. Problem solved. Check the camera's drive mode settings. Press the Drive mode button (located near the top-right side of the camera) and rotate the main dial to select the high-speed continuous shooting mode. Make sure it is not set to single shot or any other mode that disables burst shooting. pxZ3.
