The best article that I can find was here, here is link to another chart

And the following has been cut from this topic

But if you still have concerns about focusing accuracy, are not sure if it’s user error etc, are dubious about some of the ruler tests worth (as I am), then this method is very simple to use, requires no special equipment, and takes only a minute to do.

Very quick and easy way to check a number of aspects of your focus system repeatably and accurately using no special equipment:

Mount camera on tripod. Use remote release, or self-timer for taking the test shots. If you don’t use a tripod, I think you should consider your results invalid.

Step 1:

Display something predominantly white, with text all over it on your monitor screen. Maximising your Outlook inbox screen works well.

Ensure your camera back is parallel and centred with respect to your screen. Focus on your computer monitor screen manually. Notice that at the point of exact focus, you see a Moire pattern in the viewfinder. (Squiggly interference lines).

Take a picture.

Step 2:

Move the lens out of focus, and this time use AF to onto the screen again, and you should see the moire pattern in your viewfinder.

Take the picture.

Step 3:

Review the images.

That’s it.

Possible Problem Indicators:

If you can see the moire pattern in the viewfinder when manual focusing, but not when Autofocusing, or not in the resultant image on the CF card, that would indicate that there is some kind of focus alignment issue that might warrant further investigation. The moire is always strongest at the point of exact focus, so the AF and MF tests should appear very similar.

Additional test

Instead of using Outlook for the above test, open up FVU and display one of your previous images with the FVU focus point overlay.

Align your camera at the correct distance and position, so that your in-finder focus boxes, overlay those displayed

Now when you review your images, you can also see if the focus boxes in your camera, correlate with those shown in FVU.

The reason I added this step, was that someone on this forum was concerned that their in-camera focus boxes appeared to disagree with those shown in FVU.

Quick, easy and repeatable check of your finder, sensor, and AF alignment.

I will prepare some notes here for my future application use-cases web manager.

OpenX is comming with its own PEAR installation.

If your hosting company has preinstalled PEAR for you you might got the error

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors() (previously declared in /usr/share/php/PEAR.php:765) in /home/…/ads/openx-2.6.4/lib/pear/PEAR.php on line XXX

To solve this make .htaccess file in the webroot of OpenX  – dont put the .htaccess in your web root.  Here is the contents of .htaccess :

php_value include_path ".:/home/domains/guda/ads/a/lib/pear"

You must enable AllowOverride in your apache configuration

 <Directory /home/domains/guda/cenite.com/openx_webroot>
      AllowOverride all
  </Directory>

The trial against The Pirate Bay that [starts today] in Stockholm, Sweden are one of the most important issues of our time. Our adversaries basically wants to close down internets and remodel it into something similar of a sodamachine serving entertainment. During the trial, the prosecutor together with a coterie of representatives for a disabled business model will put up a tacky theater by telling stories designed to convince the court that The Pirate Bay infact is a menace to society. What differs this trial from most earlier trials is that everything in and surrounding it will whirl round and round in diverse channels of communication; to be discussed, reinterpreted, copied and critizised. Every crack in their appeal will be penetrated by the gaze of thousands upon thousands of eyes on the internets, in all the channels covering the trial. Old cliches from the antipiracy lobby wont stick. You won’t be able to say stuff like, ”you can’t compete with free” or ”filesharing is theft” without a thousand voices making fun of you. We will create numerous scenes where quite different plays will take place. In local channels like spectrial.bloggy.se where the immediate physical surroundings of the court are being discussed. ”Which cafés nearby will give us connection?” ”How can we get electricity to the bus?” But also in international channels like Twitter, where right now the torrent of information is being translated into fifteen different languages. Translations and coverage being made by ordinary users of internets. Volunteers sign up to make trial-tourist guides to the surroundings, drive the bus or hook up audio. People fly in from far away countries to cover the trial and tell the world their video story of the Sweden they see. Here all participants are potential actors in the Spectrial. Our channels form a meltingpot of reporting and engagement. Our communication around the spectacle aims in no way towards an objective report on an external chain of events. Rather, the trial is a hub around which a whole new network of actors is instigated. Neither is the spectacle a question of old media against digital, social medias. Our social medias include a paper fanzine and a 32 year old bus, connecting us and others physically. It’s not about the protocols nor the technology. It’s about using these to create new congregations, where anyone is invited and anyone can find their role, build new scenes and make their own performances. The future is built by us. Us who participate in conversations. The future is built by us who explore how information and performativity is coming together. To refuse a debate and still expect to be able to charge consumers is since long a closed door. To also try and outlaw certain types of conversations is downright disgraceful. The coverage of the trial is not unique in these qualities. More and more areas see the creation of conversations on and the exploration of new stances on culture and cultural economy. A gigantic collective exploration has set sails. Every route differs from the other. But they have one thing in common: The industry interests that the state is representing are never present in these conversations. This is why they wont be part in building the future. maintain hardline kopimi The Bureau for Piracy and The Pirate Bay via the internets this article was translated by proud peers of The Pirate Bay trial.thepiratebay.org
