Re: GH3 & 100-300, St. Thomas Airshow, AFC & burst modes

I am not sure if I understand about the RDS and parallax correction controls, but it adjusts with little adj. screws so you can calibrate it with the lens. When I am looking through it, if I shift my head up/down or sideways, the red dot stays in the center. I assume that is what you mean?

Since the RDS is mounted above the lens (by some distance) the spot displayed will also offset from the centerline of the lens. Therefore the view of the sight and the view of the lens is slightly different. The closer the subject is to the camera the bigger an issue this becomes. Since you are taking pictures of objects that are quite some distance away, the difference in the two fields of view is very slight.

Ok - excellent explanation, I understand now.  Thanks!
