Originally posted by LarfinGiraffe I have tried adjusting the diopter. Its a sort of sliding affair. I didn't want to use it as it's not especially easy to re-locate it in its centre position afterwards, which I need to when I have my specs on, and when the camera is used by other people who have better eyesight than me.
Center? Either their eyesight isn't that good, or you're being really mean to them.
On every Pentax DSLR I've owned, the default position for the diopter slider was all the way to the right. I felt very old the day that I had to give in and move it two clicks to the left on all my cameras (and add a pair of reading glasses to my travel kit).
While I usually turn off all sounds on my cameras, for manual focusing, I turn the focus confirm chirp back on, so that I have an additional cue.
