| [Camera] Tuning the Rebel autofocus
Most people would not attempt this at least not with a camera under warranty. If I try it it will be since I don't want to be without the Rebel for 3 weeks while they adjust the AF 3/8 of an inch.
The translation is pretty good but makes the process look trickier to me.

Not having a Rebel to know, just asking for clarification... Is this adjusting the focus of what you see through the viewfinder or do you take a picture and check that?
I am just wondering: Could there be a situation that what you see in the viewfinder is out of focus, but the pictures that a camera takes are fine? |

| This micro adjustment isn't something the average person can judge through the view-finder. But yes it's changing what you see slightly(using AF), since that is the nature of the SLR. This all applies to AF and AF confirmation only and has no effect on MF.

Fantastic! Thanks for the link! 
Although I also noticed a vast improvement with the AF accuracy with the removal of the UV filters I got when I bought my Rebel. I am going to replace them with a better quality (Canon) set once I can find them. |
