I took a bunch of images using the DOT tune method, that determined the 40mm pancake would be better at +3 MFA.

SO I thought I would review the pictures I took, just to double check that my eyesight agreed with the various images taken from -15 to + 15.

Only to discover I could not see this in the Info data shown by DPP or Image Zoom Browser!

So is there anywhere I can see that - image by image like say you can see the F number of each shot.?

Was I supposed to write down each image number and the respective MFA setting!

Is this stored anywhere say if I put the card back in the camera would I be able to see it again? if so where.
Or did I sort of waste all my time!

Any help appreciated.

One other question is it good to use mirror lock up when you do this - NB using a mid range tripod.

You should see the MFA in the image data. I see it with my 7D. It is right before picture style.

Hmmmm that's where I thought it would show up but above 'picture style' is:-
"AF area select mode" "Manual selection"

what program are you using to view it, and is that in 'fileinfo' , 'info' or 'properties' if Photoshop Elements Ver.12, Canon DPP or Canon Zoom Browser Ex was used [respectively]?

Seems strange I am not able to see it In either I can even see the lens serial no.
