Aim the camera at a far off telephone pole with a lens on the camera set at infinity. Take the lens off again and then adjust so when the lens is set at infinity you've only got one telephone pole. I believe this is in agreement with what Tom and others have better described here on the list. It works for me. (with a regular screwdriver) my screw head shows some slight wear. Maybe some warranty flies out the window? Probably not. Good luck, I have no idea what happens if you turn the wrong screw. Mark Rabiner (and always snip the red wire!!!) joke
