NEX-7, viewfinder's optical power

henrikarndt — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:41:48 GMT

I have just bought a NEX-7 which I am very pleased with:smileyhappy:. However is it possible to adjust the viewfinder's optical power? This as the view is unclear for me - I use reading glasses.

Hi,

If your question relates to changing the diopter value for the viewfinder, the answer is yes.

There is a small thumbwheel to the right of the viewinder that can be used to change the diopter setting. If you have the eyecup fitted you'll probably need to remove that to get at the little wheel though.

here are the valuses for the Nex-7 viewfinder:

diopter adjustment:

-4 to +1dpi

Eye-relief is ca. 23 mm from last optical element (21mm from frame)

Should be OK for those wearing glasses. Nevertheless I would try out the Nex.7
