What can I do fix the blurry outlook through the veiwfinder of my dslr camera?

Megan F asked:


I have a dslr Canon Rebel XTi. I didn’t change lenses, and my camera was working fine but then all of a sudden when I looked through the viewfinder everything was blurry. It wouldn’t focus, not even in manual mode. I cleaned the lens, changed lens, and cleaned the inside of the body and nothing worked. But when I take pictures, they turn out clear. I can’t figure out why the outlook is blurry though. What do I do?!

    Have you tried cleaning the viewfinder? That’s the only thing I can think of that would make the pictures look blurry but come out okay.

    There’s a little serrated wheel just to the right of the eyepiece, behind the rubber pad. It has a white +- next to it. This is an adjustment for people who wear glasses. Try turning it and see if that improves things. (It’s easy to bump out of focus)>

    Possibly something to do with the way you focus.
