The Nikon Laser Rangefinder uses an invisible
laser beam for measuring. It measures the time the
laser beam takes to travel from the rangefinder
to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and
measurement results may vary according to
climatic and environmental conditions, as well
as the color, surface finish, size, shape and other
characteristics of the target.
The following conditions facilitate measuring:
• Cloudy weather
• Bright-colored target
• Large-size target
• When laser incidence to the target’s reflective
surface is straight
Measurement may be inaccurate or fail in the
following cases:
• In snow, rain or fog
• Small or slender target
• Black or dark target
• Target has stepped surface
• Moving or vibrating target
• When measuring the surface of water
• Target measured through glass
• When the target is glass or a mirror
• When laser incidence to the target’s reflective
surface is oblique
