AF microadjustment for the 1Ds mark III, 1D Mk3, 5D Mk2, 7D. Cameras with micro-adjustment (or AF fine tuning) currently include: Canon 1D X, 1DIII, 1DIV, 1DsMkIII, 5DII, 5D3, 50D, 7D, Nikon D3, D3x, D4, D300, D700, D800 Sony A900, Pentax K20 (note that the EOS 60D does not include this feature) The EOS 1D X / 5D3 now allows separate AF Microadjustment for both the wide angle and the telephoto settings of a zoom lens. Sometimes, different lenses might consistently not focus perfectly (front or back focus). This can now be adjusted for individual lenses. Some cameras even allow for multiple copies of the same lens to be individually adjusted. We've got a downloadable lens calibration chart to make this process easier.

The lens calibration target is easy to set up and use with an LCD monitor. If you're looking for specific hardware to help with the process, we have a review of the SpyderLensCal AF Microadjustment - back/front focus Whilst expensive lenses and an expensive camera should 'just work' there may be room for improvement.

John Clark , Jan 05, 2008; 06:50 a.m. Hi folks. I have a 10D which I have owned since new and have lost the cd that came with it. I now wish to install DPP 3.2 and have downloaded it for my OSX machine, but it won't install without at least one of the original applications. Having had a quick look around the Canon website I can only find 'updaters' and no original installations - do you know if these are available online? I can't see any reason why they shouldn't be. Any help much appreciated. john F. I have read the same question in the forum in the past, try looking for it. Marco Mariano , Jan 05, 2008; 06:59 a.m.
