    To check it out for you...
    1- set zoom to max
    2- focus camera on object - it will beep
    3- look thru v/f and push/twist dial with fingernail till image is clearest

    I shoot via hanging my specs off my left ear and using right eye direct thru eyepiece

    Hope this helps

    I've found the diopter adjustment. I had already set it correctly. As soon as I read the info it clicked. I remembered reading about it when I got the camera. I just had forgotten and didn't know the terminology. I will have a bit of a play this weekend coming up. I suspect I need new reading glasses anyway though it could just be reading a few full books with only bifocals have strained my eyes. ( still not sure where my "readers" are)
    Thanks for the additional hints both of you.
