If you have an HD camera with removable lens you have to adjust the backfocus as often as you use or move the camera. People new to this issue find it confusing and tend to overlook it but backfocus adjustment is what will make or break your images. The good news is that it’s very easy to take care of. In this video I explain what backfocus is and how you can keep it sharp. The video also showcases the new DSC “Fiddleheads” chart. This video has been used by DSC in demonstrating the use of backfocus charts at SMPTE meetings.
