HELP: canon 1d mark iin w/24-70 l

So I just got both of these this week and for some reason when I make the image sharp on the view finder then do it manually on the lens, the image does not come out the same. whats the problem?

I don't get the post.

Did you mean the image looks fine in the "viewfinder" but not sharp when downloaded to the computer?

Can you post an example?

i do not understand OP's meaning.

in the viewfinder it looks good, but when i take the picture, it appears completely different on the lcd, blurry. now when i change the dioptric lower so it looks blurry in the view finder, it looks clear in the lcd when the image is shot

Put a white sheet of paper in front of the lens and adjust the diopter until the focus point squares are sharp. If I understand your meaning, this should solve your problem.

The AF points are independent of the diopter. You can have a blurry viewfinder as long as the lens focus, the pic will sharp.

Make sure you have enough light, point the lens at a large object with good contrast, the camera box is a good one 1/2 press the shutter to get AF going and confirm with a beep and take a shot. If it still blurry then something is wrong with the lens or camera. Try it with another lens if you have one see if it does the same.

I believe the OP said s/he was MFing the lense - so the view through the viewfinder would certainly affect the focus...

thanks. i'll give both a shot and let you know how it goes

well? enquiring trolls would like to know....

do you need glass' ? lol

Its still blurry in the viewfinder, autofocus works, but its like I won't be able to Manual focus. The article perfectly describes my situation, what should I do
