The diopter adjustment could very well be the problem if you are using manual focus. The diopter adjustment is there for us folks who need eyeglasses. We can take our glasses off and adjust the diopter until the view is in focus (assuming the auto focus is working correctly). If the diopter adjust is incorrect for your exact eye AND you are using the manual focus then you can understand how the picture could actually be out of focus even though you are seeing it in focus through the viewfinder.
Soooooo, make sure you are using autofocus, look through the viewfinder and adjust the diopter setting until it is in focus for you. Now the two should be in sync and you can switch to the manual focus if you want to.
Also, if you do wear glasses, sometimes the diopter adjustment won't adjust enough to allow you to see in focus without your glasses and you'll have to use you glasses when viewing. In that case you should have your glasses on when you do the above adjustment of the diopter on the viewfinder.
Best wishes, Larry
