AF-FA ten years after

This is a method I have tried, without fantastic success.

  1. focus the camera in LV mode.
  2. switch to OVF.
  3. focus and see if the lens moves.
  4. adjust correction and redo 1-3.

The adjustments where the lens do not move are acceptable adjustments.

This is a tedious method and whether the lens moves or not is not reliable.

Nearly ten years back, I posted this:

It's too much effort for what you gain.

There wasn't much progress in AF-FA procedures since 2012 afaics.
