EYECUP ADJUSTMENT

SWFA SS 12x32 binocular is equipped with 

adjustable rubber eyecups with integrated 

wings that block wind and stray light. Take 

care to not rotate the eyepiece and reticle 

adjustments underneath the eyecups 

When using the 

binocular with eye 

or sunglasses, fold 

the eyecups down in 

order to see the entire 

Field of View (FOV).

INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) ADJUSTMENT

The IPD setting of the binocular must match the distance between your eyes.  

To adjust the IPD, grasp the binocular with both hands and slowly rotate the 

binocular barrels inward or outward until you see a single round image without any 

“kidneybean” shading for either eye.  In order to simplify the adjustment and make it 

consistent, choose a reasonably distant object to look at (more than 20 yards out) 

and find a stable position with support 

for your elbows.  Once you achieve a 

comfortable IPD setting, note the size 

of the gap between the two barrels, 

so that you can always return to your 

setting if someone else has been 

using the binocular or if the IPD setting 

shifted during transportation.
