Just curious - could the combination of diopter adjustment AND manual focus cause OOF?

In other words should you "calibrate" the diopter by using AF to focus and then adjust the diopter?

Interesting question sued.. Even if you have all your focus points disabled I think you'll notice your diopter being out.. If mine is out my eyes kind of swim,,like looking through the bottom of a glass..

The best way to adjust your diopter is with your lens off and all your focus points glowing.. Adjust until your focus points are dead sharp..
