 Now, open the right objective and 

cover the left objective lens. Making 

sure that you do not touch the center 

focusing knob, use the eyepiece 

focus ring underneath the eyecup to 

bring the image (that is now going 

to your right eye) into perfect focus.  

Eyepiece focus adjustment is very 

sensitive, so take your time and make 

sure it is done right.  Remember to 

keep your both eyes open, although 

only the right eye is seeing the target.

 Check that the 

focus adjustment was 

successful by looking 

at a variety of targets 

at different distances 

using either eye and 

both eyes together.  

Optimal focus position 

for the center focusing 

knob should the same 

for both eyes.  If it is 

not, go back to 

Step 1

.

 Record the 

location of the focus 

setting mark on the 

adjustment ring 

with respect to the 

“-\+” mark on the 

binocular body.  You 

should not need 

to adjust it unless 

a different person 

used the binocular.

NOTE:

  Make sure that you give your eyes 

a chance to rest throughout the process. 

The eyepiece focus procedure is best done 

in the morning when your eyes are least 

tired.  Doing it at the end of the day can 

be difficult especially if daytime activities 

involve a lot of computer use.
