The last thing you need to worry about on a wedding day or a portrait session is whether your DSLR will be tack sharp or not. That’s where lens calibration comes into play, and I offer this service by appointment right here in Nashville, Tennessee.
My name is Jamie Pratt, and I launched my photography company in 2012. During the pandemic, I decided to learn how to calibrate my own equipment, and have been offering it to other professionals (and hobbyists!) since late 2020.
What is calibration? Do I need it? How does it work? Let’s answer a few common questions below.

Overtime, the system can begin to inaccurately measure the distance, resulting in an image that looks focused through the viewfinder, but is actually slightly out of focus when you take the image. Calibration corrects this margin of error, bringing back accurate focus.
