AF Micro Adjustment valid in all modes?
candyman:
I apologize if this has been answered before. :-[
I am just learning on AF Micro Adjustment.
When I calibrate a Canon lens in my 7D, and set the value, and "save", is the adjustment valid in all Modes (TV,AV,M and even the C-modes)? I assume it is, since the Adjustment is lens specific and not Mode specific.
Is my assumption correct?

Yes. Even if you are in manual mode, it will affect the AF indicator that shows attaining focus. I also believe it will affect at least some of the AF confirm chips, but I'm not sure of that, perhaps someone has info on that.
PaperTiger:
As far as I know though, it doesn't apply to Custom Modes. I noticed this with the 5D, but not the 7D. It could've been the order that I set up the Custom Modes (after or before AF adjustment).
neuroanatomist:
AFIAK, it applies in all modes including custom modes. When I change or turn off/on the adjustment, in a regular mode (Av, etc.), the change is reflected in all 3 custom modes, and vice versa.
In fact, AFMA is a bit pernicious - if you reset the camera to default, it returns the main AFMA setting to default (0: no adjustment), but it doesn't delete the lens-specific adjustments previously stored. The only way to delete an adjustment is to set it to zero with the lens attached, or when you get to 20 stored. (I wonder if the 1D X will store more adjustments?)

On my 7D, it gets carried to all modes including C1/C2/C3.
