Oops...I thought something was off when reviewing this video. I accidentally inserted the Nikon results for setting 30 feet manually with a Fujifilm camera. It was really sharp behind 30 feet, not in front. You can check out the corresponding article for details: https://www.jmpeltier.com/what-are-di...

I know a lot of you love tests, so here's one: how accurate are digital camera focus scales? The ones on some lenses, like Nikkor lenses, and on the screen, like on Fujifilm cameras?
Here, I run multiple tests at measured distances of seven feet and 30 feet, using three different focus techniques for each.
What are the results?
And more importantly, does it even matter if we're using these scales for their intended purpose?
