Dioptric Adjustment; Holding The Camera - Canon EOS 10D Digital Instruction Manual

Dioptric Adjustment

By adjusting the diopter to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses), the viewfinder
image will look clearer. The camera's adjustable dioptric range is –3 to +1 dpt.
If the camera's dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a clear viewfinder image, using
Dioptric Adjustment Lens E (10 types) is recommended. (→p.174)
