3.1 Einstellen des Pupillenabstands

4. Operating the Binoculars

4.1 Fokussierung

The Leica Ultravid BR 8x20 features a central focusing wheel and a diopter adjustment. To focus:

  1. Close your right eye and look through the left eyepiece at a distant object. Rotate the central focusing wheel until the image is sharp.
  2. Close your left eye and look through the right eyepiece. Adjust the diopter ring (located on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp.
  3. With both eyes open, the image should now be perfectly focused. For subsequent use, only the central focusing wheel will typically need adjustment for different distances.
