I picked up on it there Geoff, you see multiple reflections of the cheshires metal angled surface with the hole in the middle showing up as many black dots inside silver circles if it's out. Just adjust to line all the black dots up. I star checked it and it was all good for me. You do it with the lens cap on and the cross hairs in the cheshire are a bit of an obstacle but it does work and it is quick and easy.
