Dioptric Adjustment; Holding The Camera - Canon EOS-5D Instruction Manual

Dioptric Adjustment

By adjusting the diopter to suit your eyesight, you can see a sharp
viewfinder image even without eyeglasses. The camera's adjustable
dioptric range is -3 to +1 dpt.
If the camera's dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder
image, using Dioptric Adjustment Lens E (10 types, optional) is
recommended.

Holding the Camera

To obtain sharp images, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.
Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your
both elbows lightly against your body.
Hold the lens bottom with your left hand.
Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder.
To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other
instead of lining up both feet.
