Sony A100, A700 Maxxum 5D, 7D AF Adjustment

General Adjustment information for Sony Minolta AF Systems
Adjustments are in four steps. Front to back adjustment, AF area, AF Pitch/Yaw and EZ check for individual focus areas. Individual focus area adjustments are done entirely in software diagnostics and are written to the cameras ROM.

Some of the first photos in this gallery are of a Maxxum 300si, but the principles involved are identical. The Maxxum Dynax 7D of course has a much more complicated multi AF area sensor.
