BASIC OPERATION
•
The eyecups on a Riton 10x42 binocular twist up and down
so any viewer can see the full field and enjoy comfortable
viewing with or without eyeglasses. When not using
eyeglasses or sunglasses, keep the eyecups fully extended.
For the best viewing when viewing through eyeglasses, twist
eyecups down.
•
Properly focus the binocular
•
BINOCULAR FOCUS
•
For the best possible views, follow this two-step process to properly adjust the center focus and diopter.
•
Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you and stay in the same spot until you have
•
adjusted the binocular for your eyes.
•
1. Adjust the center focus—first start by closing your right eye or covering the right objective lens with
•
your hand. Focus your left eye on the object and adjust the center focus wheel until the image is in
•
focus. Leave the center focus in this position as you adjust the diopter.
•
2. Adjust the diopter—start by closing your left eye or covering the left objective lens with your hand.
•
Look through your right eye and adjust the diopter ring (found on the right eyepiece) until the object
•
is in focus. Make note of this diopter setting in case you need to set it again. From this point on, you
•
will only need to use the center focus wheel.
Adjust the Interpupillary Distance
•
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the
•
centers of the left and right eye pupils. Match the IPD of your
•
eyes to that of the binocular so that you see a single image
•
that is free of shading
