Basic Operation

Adjusting the Viewfinder Clarity
If the camera's dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder
image, using E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses (10 types, sold
separately) is recommended.
Holding the Camera
To obtain sharp images, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.
