Notes for AF Microadjustment
Clearing All AF Microadjustments
When shooting with the intermediate range (focal length) of a zoom lens, the 
AF’s point of focus is corrected auto matically relative to the adjustments 
made for the wide-angle and telephoto en ds. Even if only the wide-angle or 
telephoto end has been adjusted, a correction will be  made automatically for 
the intermediate range.
  The AF’s point of focus will vary  slightly depending on the subject 
conditions, brightness, zoom positi on, and other shooting conditions. 
Therefore, even if you perform AF Microadjustment, focus may still not 
be achieved at th e suitable position.
  If you clear all the Custom Func tion settings (p.362), the AF 
Microadjustment will be retained. Ho wever, the setting will become [0: 
Disable ].
 It is best to make the adjustment at  the actual location where you will 
shoot. This will make th e adjustment more precise.
  Using a tripod when making the adjustment is recommended.
  For checking the adjustment  result, shooting at the 73 image-recording 
quality is recommended.
  The adjustment amount of one stop  varies depending on the maximum 
aperture of the lens. Ke ep adjusting, shooting, and checking the focus 
repeatedly to adjust th e AF’s point of focus.
  The AF Microadjustment will not be applied to  u+ Tracking, FlexiZone - 
Multi, and FlexiZone -  Single during Live View shooting and movie 
shooting.
