8. IMPORTANT: Adjust the Eyepiece Focus setting (initial setup only). This is a small slide switch to the right of the viewfinder that can go up or down through 6 positions (some cameras such as the D300, have a rotating wheel), and is designed to match the viewfinder optics to your vision.

5. If a chinrest is used, adjust the height so the center of the iris is about 1” (25mm) below the bottom of the forehead rest.

Adjust the camera position until the pupil of the iris is centered on the viewfinder. With this type of 1:1+ photography, focus is accomplished by moving the camera toward or away from the subject. 12. Adjust focus until the image is sharp around the collarette at the fou
