Anyone have a tip on how to adjust backfocus on X1D? I have mk.1 body and XCD90. I was asked to do a few portraits yesterday and when looking through the series of images I realised imediately that 80% were focused on the tip of the ear and eye soft even if that's where I aimed all the time!? Cannot find any adjustment in camera...

Hi Dan,

you have to put the camera in manual focus mode first. Then you can press the AF-L button and the camera will focus, shutter button will only trigger the shutter now. :)

Tried it and it is much more accurate!!! 7 quick images just around me and focus where I wanted it on 6 of them. Much appreciated for the advise :)

Very welcome! The X1D focus ring is always on, even in AF. Meaning if you have focused and turn it ever so slightly, maybe due to your hand position the focus will shift. This is also something to keep in mind.
