Viewfinders Pentax K-5

jedi1967 · 02-04-2012, 10:35 AM

Two days ago, my viewfinders on my Pentax K-5 are blurred, but when I shoot an object and review the picture is fine. Is there a setting to fix both viewfinders?
Sincerely,

Did you, perhaps, accidentally move the eyepiece diopter adjustment out of wack?

Make sure that your diopter is not knocked out of adjustment. Remove the rubber eye piece and look for the sliding lever under it. Set the camera to infinity and view through it at a distance object while moving the lever left or right. It should clear up when adjusted right.

if you have children, there is either dish soap, a gummy bear or dry glue on your viewfinder... or drool with the younger ones

if no children.... not sure, haven't had an issue like that without kids

Well, OP said "both viewfinders"... I'm guessing he means the LV also. But that just couldn't be, to have blurred image in LV and clear in review...
@ jedi1967:
What do you mean by both viewfinders? K-5 has ONE ViewFinder.
