How to use

Mount the SpyderLensCal on a tripod and level it using the integrated bubble level. Position the camera perpendicular to the calibration target at the recommended distance for the lens focal length, then focus using the camera’s autofocus. Review the captured image to determine whether focus falls in front of or behind the target, and note the adjustment required. Enter the appropriate microadjustment value into your camera’s autofocus correction or custom settings and repeat the test to confirm accurate results.

Recommendations

Perform calibration in stable lighting and with the camera on a tripod to avoid motion blur. Test at the aperture you commonly use and at multiple focal lengths if you have a zoom lens. Record adjustments for each lens in your camera’s custom settings for consistent, repeatable focus performance.
