Apologies in advance for what may be a dumb question(s) . . . Are all of these tests using autofocus? Assuming yes, then - You say the focus target was the focusing chart. Did you use the viewfinder and/or liveview to verify that the system was focused on the target? And not on the number

Did you use auto focus or manual focus. If you used auto focus all bets are off, the camera makes a decision. Now that could be tweaked in software, (I think anyway). If however you manually focused on the blue light and the yellow is in focus then you have a misaligned focusing screen, espe
