aDjusting anD using
yOur binOCulars
Adjusting the binoculars begins by setting the
interpupilary distance. This is the distance be-
tween the pupils of your eyes. The bino cular
tubes pivot on a hinge, moving the tubes
closer or further apart. Pivot the binocular tubes until you
see a single image when looking through the binoculars.
When you don't require glasses in your daily life (or wear
contact lenses), the binocular is now ready for use. All
STEINER binoculars are suited for wearers of glasses. Please
refer to the following pages for detailed instructions.
hOw tO use the spOrts autO-FOCus
All our individual focus models feature Sports Auto-Focus.
The advantage to this feature is that - once set to your
eyes - it allows you to view images from 20 yards to infinity
without having to refocus for different distances. Higher
power models (10x or more) will be in focus from
30-40 yards to infinity. The proper way to
focus the Sports Auto-Focus is:
Choose an image, sign or a tree at least
100 yards away to view.
Cover one of the objective lenses with
your hand or the objective cover.
Look through the binocular with both eyes open.
On the side not covered, turn the ocular’s diopter
setting ring until the image appears clear and sharp.
Uncover the lens and repeat the procedure with the
opposite lens.
When viewing through both lenses, all images from
20 yards to infinity will be bright, clear and in focus.
Higher power models (10x-20x) may require higher
initial focus distance.
Make note of your diopter setting, as it can be unique to
each user. Some models feature the new Memory Ocular,
a device that saves your individual setting. See the
following section for detailed instructions.
