When [j Clear all] appears at the bottom of the screen, pressing the 
 button will clear all the adjustments made for [1: All by same 
amount
] and [2: Adjust by lens].
Clearing All AF Microadjustments
When shooting with the intermediate range (focal length) of a zoom lens, the 
AF’s point of focus is corrected automatically relative to the adjustments 
made for the wide-angle and telephoto ends. Even if only the wide-angle or 
telephoto end has been adjusted, a correction will be made automatically for 
the intermediate range.
General Cautions for AF Microadjustment
 The AF’s point of focus will vary slightly depending on the subject 
conditions, brightness, zoom posit ion, and other shooting conditions. 
Therefore, even if you perform AF  Microadjustment, focus may still not 
be achieved at the suitable position.
 The adjustment amount of one stop varies depending on the maximum 
aperture of the lens. Keep adjusting, shooting, and checking the focus 
repeatedly to adjust the AF’s point of focus.
 The adjustment will not be applied to AF during Live View shooting or 
movie shooting.
 If you clear all the Custom Function settings (p.410), the AF 
Microadjustment will be retained. However, the setting will become [ 0: 
Disable ].
Notes for AF Microadjustment
It is best to make the ad justment at the actual location where you will 
shoot. This will make the adjustment more precise.
 Using a tripod when making the adjustment is recommended.
 For making adjustments, shooting at the  73 image-recording quality is 
recommended.
