Micro Adjust Canon 50D
The Canon 50D digital camera has an autofocus feature that automatically sets the focus according to the subject of the photograph. The autofocus chosen by the camera is adequate for most shots. Some photographers prefer having more control over the focus when taking pictures. Canon designed the 50D with an autofocus microadjustment tool, which changes the focus point of the camera before taking a picture.
Instructions
1. Press the "Menu" button on the back of the Canon 50D to access the main menu.
2. Highlight "Custom Functions" by spinning the "Quick Control Dial" and press the "Set" button.
3. Choose "Autofocus/Drive" and then "AF Microadjustment."
4. Select "Adjust All By Same Amount" to bring up the "AF Microadjustment" window. A graph will appear on the screen.
5. Turn the "Quick Control Dial" to the right to move the focus point backwards, and to the left to move the focus point forward.
6. Review the new setting by pressing the "Info" button on the camera. Return to the graph to make further adjustments by pressing the "Info" button a second time.
7. Save the "AF Microadjustment" by pressing the "Set" button.
