dioptric adjustment knob

hello everyone,
what does the Dioptric Adjustment Knob do? i looked in my manuel and it doesn't say much.
thanks.

It adjusts the focus of the viewfinder.
For people like me who require glasses.

Turn it each side of centre and watch the fixed items in the viewfinder (the focus points, the shutter speed etc) go in and out of focus.

Just adjust it until you can see the fixed items clearly and without straining.
Then the image will also appear sharp when it's in focus.

Yea, its like at the eye doctor, "which is better, one, or two".

thanks SmartWombat and Anbesol :)

P.S. Maybe we need a "Report Spam" button somewhere on these entries??

I deleted 32 spams and banned the member. As far as a button to report spam just try clicking on the red triangle to the right of where it says Online or Offline in the bottom left of each post, Jeff
