More info | Jan 07, 2008 19:25 | #1 When I'm shooting indoors with any of my lenses on auto focus, I push the shutter down halfway to auto focus...it focuses but when I'm looking through the viewfinder it's still very blurry. When I go outside there seems to be no problem. I just got my 17-40 L today and inside it looks awful but outside it looks decent but not NEARLY as crisp as my 70-200 L. Thoughts on the focusing problem and the lens? openroadtuning

It's that little wheel on the upper-right hand side of the viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder, and turn that wheel until the focus points are crisp, and your problem will be solved.

My diopter is perfectly snug on my 30d, doesn't move at all unless i specifically try and fit a nail and move it. :/
