Avoid “Soft” Images

What is Lens Calibration?
A Camera & Lens Calibration is a series of micro adjustments that make a single DSLR camera and single external lens work better together. By making these adjustments we are able to compensate for the natural variations that occur during the manufacturing process. More Details
Calibrated vs. Uncalibrated: What’s the difference?
Use the slider on the right to see the difference.
Uncalibrated — “Technically” this uncalibrated image is in focus, but much of the true detail is missing due to an inaccurate focus.
Calibrated — When you adjust the slider to see the full calibrated image, all the amazing details come through, making the image come to life.
The uncalibrated image lacks the polished, professional look that you can only achieve when your camera and lens are properly calibrated to focus accurately.

More Information On Calibration
Camera and lens calibration, or Autofocus Microadjustment (AFMA), is a procedure that allows a technician to adjust for front or back focusing autofocus errors. Even the highest-quality DSLR photo equipment is not manufactured to identical specifications.
Because of these slight variations during production, combinations of cameras and lenses that aren’t exactly calibrated can result in errors in focus. Additionally, after heavy use of gear, because of all the moving parts inside of your camera and lenses, perfectly calibrated camera equipment can fall out of alignment over time.
