You can't see what the camera is pointed at. You'll just see the screen. I 
find it most useful to get the focusing aid(s) sharp. I used to use the LCD 
display, but this doesn't appear to be as accurate. I think the display and 
the screen  are at different apparent distances. So... take off the lens, 
point at a large bright light source (like the sky, clear or clouidy, doesn't 
matter) and adjust the knob until the focusing aids look sharp.
