Focus Chart
The viewfinder has a built in focus chart so you can focus the eye piece to suit your eyes.
The diopter has an adjustment range of -4 to +4. Simply turn the focus diopter on the
eyepiece until the chart is in perfect focus.

This setting smooths the motion of fast moving images displayed by the viewfinder. It is
common to see judder when shooting at frame rates lower than 30p on a display that
doesn’t run at that native frame rate, especially when you see the display close up. Judders
are eliminated when you switch on ‘smooth motion’ with the shutter angle at 180 or less and
the frame rate set to 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30p.
