INSTRUMENTS
Binoculars:
An
Introduction
Foldable
eyecup
for
eyeglass wearers:
Some binoculars
are
designed
to
provide
a
sufficient
field
of
view
even
for
eyeglass
wearers
by
simply
folding
back
the
eyecup
so
as
to
place
the
eye
at
the
correct eyepoint.
Otherwise
the
field
of
view
might
be
partially shaded.

Adjustment
of
pupil
distance:
The
purpose
of
this
adjustment
is
to
align
the
exit
pupils
of
the
binoculars
with
the
pupils
of
your eyes.
If
they
are
not
correctly aligned,
you
will
experience
discomfort
from
having
to
use
only
one eye.
Binoculars
offer
a
wide
range
of
pupil
distances
so
anyone
can
use
Nikon
binoculars
in comfort.
While
you
look
at
a
distant object,
carefully
move
the
binocular
tubes
downward
or
upward
so
that
both
fields
are
correctly aligned,
forming
a
perfect circle.
Adjust
pupil
distance
by
opening
or
closing
the binoculars.
Pupil
distance
is
properly adjusted.
Pupil
distance
is
not adjusted.
(The
central
part
might
be
invisible
or
an
eclipse
might
appear
at
the
corners.)
Focusing
Diopter adjustment:
If
there
is
a
difference
in
visual
acuity
between
your
left
eye
and
your
right eye,
you
need
to
make
a
diopter adjustment.
Looking
through
binoculars
without
diopter
adjustment
will
not
yield
a sharp,
crisp
image
because
one
eye
sees
things
in
focus
while
the ther doesn't.
Worse still,
you
will
suffer
eye strain.
Most
binoculars
have
a
mechanism
that
compensates
for
different diopters.
All prism
binoculars
have
this mechanism.
For
CF
(Central Focusing)
binoculars
First
look
through
the
left
eyepiece
with
your
left
eye
while
closing
your
right
eye
and
turn
the
central
focusing
ring
to
focus
on
a
distant object.
Then
look
through
the
right
eyepiece
with
your
right
eye
while
closing
the
left eye,
rotating
the
diopter
adjustment
ring
to
focus
on
the
same object.

1)
Focus
with
your
left eye.
When
the
diopter
is adjusted,
turn
the
central
focusing
ring
to
focus
on
the object. |
2)
Adjust
diopter
with
right eye. |

For (Individual Focusing)
binoculars
You
can
adjust
the
diopters
of
both
eyepieces independently.
Focusing
and
diopter
adjustments
are
performed simultaneously,
but
a
change
of
object
requires
turning
both
rings.
