- When you use the Viewfinder, you're actually looking…through the same lens that's going to expose the Sensor.…This can give you a fairly clear view of your scene.…The Viewfinder can also give you a lot of status information…about the scene to help you make the right decisions.…Let's start outside the Viewfinder.…One control that's important to understand is the Diopter.…This is useful if you wear glasses and…want to remove them for shooting.…You may be able to adjust the Diopter…to compensate when shooting.…Rotate the small knob to focus on the Viewfinder.…Keep in mind it's also pretty easy to…bump the Diopter accidentally.…

If you think that your camera's having problems…auto focusing very well, I recommend that you…check the Diopter and make sure that it's not set…for any correction to the image.…Inside the Viewfinder, there's a lot of additional…information overlayed that can be helpful…as you make a photo.…You'll see nine focusing points superimposed…over your image.…These points will light up when you auto focus…
