Ideal for people wearing glasses

To ensure that people wearing glasses also have an optimal field of view MINOX binoculars are fitted with rotating eyecups.

For use without wearing glasses

Those who wear glasses must leave the rotating eyecups on both eyepieces in the original position (as delivered) or, if necessary, turn the eyecups clockwise until they noticeably engage. In this setting, you can enjoy the entire field of view without disturbing interferences at the edges.

The right distance between the eyes (inter-pupillary distance)

Look into the eyepieces of your binoculars and adjust the angle of the hinged tubes until you have a singular circular image.

Focusing

  • For a pin-sharp image, the definition you must adjust the optics of the binoculars to your individual vision. To do this, please proceed as follows:
  • First, look at an object far away. With the right eye closed, turn the focusing knob until the object in view has become perfectly sharp.
  • Next, look at the same object in the distance with the left eye closed and turn the diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece until the object is perfectly sharp.
  • Your MINOX binoculars are now set to the individual vision of both eyes.
  • To observe objects at various distances, use the focus adjustment knob to obtain a clear and sharp image.

Attache a Tripod

For a shudder-free image, we recommend using a tripod, especially with binoculars with a higher magnification. The MINOX tripod adapter is available as an optional accessory for this purpose.

Remove the screw cap (6) on the bottom of the binoculars and attach the MINOX tripod adapter into the screw socket. Keep the screw cap (6) in a safe place and reattach it after removing the tripod adapter.
