power in order to achieve optimal visual acuity for a fast
target acquisition with both eyes open.
Turn the magnification to 1x and look through the
scope at a distant target (> 50 m). The non-aiming
eye should remain open so that both eyes are looking
at the target. Now turn the diopter adjustment ring
until both images appear the same size and the scope
image is sharply focused. Once the correct setting has
been made, you should have an undisturbed binocular
image. This diopter setting can now be locked into place
with the lock ring and will have to be adjusted
again only with changing eyesight.
Parallax-free performance
Parallax is the visible movement of the reticle over
the target image. This occurs when the observing eye
moves vertically or horizontally behind the riflescope
and the scope has not yet been adjusted parallax-free
to the target distance. This movement is also called
parallax error and is a displacement of the apparent
position of an object viewed along two different lines
of sight. Parallax occurs when the plane of the target
image in the scope is not at the same distance as the
plane at which the reticle is visible. This difference
causes the reticle in relation to the target image to
appear out of focus. The MINOX ZP8 is adjusted to be
parallax-free at 200 m. At considerably shorter or
greater distances and higher magnifications, the target
image will appear slightly out of focus.
The following diagram shows the maximum possible
deviation caused by parallax error if the pupil of the eye
is located at the edge of the exit pupil. This error rarely
occurs in practice, because at this misalignment, the
edge of the image is already visibly shadowed.
At greater distances, this deviation is a maximum of
0.06 mrad, or about a half click of the reticle adjustment.
