stupid question.

hi everyone ,

i own an M8 from September 07 and i use the camera at least 4 to 5 days a week.
today as i was focusing i realized that the frame lines in the viewfinder move while i am focusing.
they move diagonally towards to the top right corner or bottom left corner depends from which side i turn the focusing ring.

is that normal or there is a problem with my viewfinder?

focusing framing and pics are absolutely fine.

thanks

It's parallax correction, which compensates for the fact that the VF and the lens are not on quite the same axis. Be happy you have it.

It's called parallax correction. In other words it is normal and nothing is wrong with your camera.

i guessed that would be the case
although i never heard the term parallel correction before
just wanted to make sure

i feel relieved

thanks
