Lens Calibration – Precision Autofocus, Collimation & Optical Correction

Mirrorless & Third‑Party Considerations

  • Most modern mirrorless cameras handle autofocus calibration internally and do not expose user-adjustable AF fine-tune settings. Some hybrid systems (e.g., Sony with A‑mount adapters) still offer this feature.

  • Third-party lenses from brands like Sigma and Tamron support lens-specific calibration using their respective tuning docks or consoles.
