It is only necessary to perform this when the lens is attached for the first time or when focusing is not correct in both the telephoto and wide-angle positions. Adjust the viewfinder for sharpness first. It is easier to adjust back focus when the subject is more than 3 meters from the camera. The optimal subject for this adjustment is a Siemens star chart.
