Dioptric Adjustment In The Viewfinder; Holding The Camera - Canon BP-511 Instructions Manual

Dioptric Adjustment in the Viewfinder

Use the dioptric adjustment in the viewfinder to best suit your eyesight. This adjustment can
enable eyeglass wearers to see through the viewfinder clearly, even without their eyeglasses.
The camera's adjustable dioptric range is –3 to +1 dpt.
If the viewfinder image still does not look sharp after adjusting the diopter
adjustment knob, try one of the E-series dioptric adjustment lenses (optional).

body.
Hold the lens at the bottom with your left hand.
Hold the camera to your face and look through the viewfinder.
