Like many oldies (I'm 63) I need reading glasses (+2 diopter). My DSLR has diopter correction so I do not wear glasses when birding since my eyesight is perfect at a distance.
When digiscoping, I use a 4X loupe with diopter adjustment on the LCD of the camera and this works fine. On the scope, I can get a clear focus by adjusting the focus control but this focus turns out to be off for the camera by my eye correction of a +2 diopter. The result is that most of my photographs have a soft focus. This soft focus is difficult if not impossible to detect in the field on the small LCD but shows up big time on the computer screen.
I am sure that many birders have that problem. How do you solve it ?
