Lens AF Shift

lensshift

  • Lens AF Shift is autofocus adjustment for individual lenses.  That means when the focus error only occurs with certain lenses.
  • Before doing any adjustment back up the AF camera and lens data files.
  • Use the cameras custom menu to select multi-controller as the AF pointy selection method.  This will allow you to choose which sensor to test by selecting it with the cameras multi-controller.
  • You can now register AF adjustment settings for up to 20 different lenses.  Upgraded from 7 on older models.

 

Lens AF Shift:

  • Lens AF Shift is stored in the body ROM.
  • Lens AF Shift only applies to that lens and body combination.
  • The lens is identified through the lens ROM.  If the lens has an electronic serial number then that lens is unique.  But if the lens does not have an electronic serial number then it will be identified by focal length and lens speed only.
