image through lens is out of focus

Posted: October 17, 2006 - 5:11am

I have recently entered the world of digital slr with a new Evolt 500. However I seem to have a problem, no matter what I do the image through the lens is always out of focus. I thought it might be my eyes or something ,but I haven't found anyone who can make it in focus, either with the auto focus or manual. The pictures are really clear and sharp, but I have this funny thought that I should be able to see, in focus, not fuzzy, what it is I'm shooting.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

if the camera has dioptic correction, it may need adjustment for any particular individual.

Ronk's right, and the E-500 does have it (look for a small dial near the viewfinder). Still, it's odd that the image would be really fuzzy, especially for several people which I gather is what you say happened. Only the small part in the middle that is used for manual focusing would normally ever be really fuzzy.
