Configuración
Proper setup ensures optimal viewing comfort and clarity.
1. Adjusting Interpupillary Distance
Hold the binoculars with both hands and look through them. Adjust the distance between the two barrels by moving them closer together or farther apart until you see a single, clear circular field of view. This ensures both eyes are aligned with the optical path.
2. Axuste do ocular
The adjustable eyecups twist up and down. If you wear eyeglasses, twist the eyecups down to their lowest position. If you do not wear eyeglasses, twist the eyecups up to a comfortable position that allows you to see the full field of view without vignetting (dark shadows around the edges).
3. Focalización
To achieve a sharp image:
- Choose an object about 20 yards away.
- Cover the right objective lens (front lens) with your hand.
- Look through the binoculars with your left eye and rotate the center focus wheel until the image is sharp.
- Now, cover the left objective lens with your hand.
- Look through the binoculars with your right eye and rotate the diopter ring (located on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp. Do not use the center focus wheel for this step.
- Your binoculars are now adjusted for your eyes. For future use, simply use the center focus wheel to adjust for different distances.
