PRISM SYSTEM:
Your Carson 3D binoculars feature a roof prism system. The prisms overlap closely allowing the objective (front) lenses to line up directly with the eyepieces. The result is a slim, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms that magnify and correct the image are in a straight line.
EYE ADJUSTMENTS: HOW TO ADJUST FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR EYES
The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye, follow these simple steps:
- Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position.
- Grasp each barrel firmly. Move barrels closer together or further apart until you see a singular circular field. Always reset your binoculars to this position before using.
FOCUSING YOUR BINOCULARS:
Carson 3D binoculars have a center focus wheel and an independent right diopter eyepiece to account for small differences in the strength of each eye. Please follow the steps below to focus properly:
- Adjust the interpupillar distance.
- Rotate the right eyepiece to its index mark and sight on a fixed distant object.
- Cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the central focusing wheel until the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
- Cover the left objective (front) lens with your hand then rotate the right eye peice until the image is sharp. (Note this setting for future use.)
- Image should now be focused to your individual eye strength.
TWIST-UP EYECUPS:
Your Carson 3D binocular features twist-up eyecups designed to exclude
extraneous light. If you do not wear eyeglasses, you may choose to twist the
eyecups out to block stray light and reflections from your view. If you are an
eyeglass wearer, lowering the eyecups will bring your eyes closer to the
binocular lenses, providing an improved field of view.
WATERPROOFING:
All Carson 3D binoculars are nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed to protect
your binocular from water damage. They are designed to protect against
accidental splashing, rain or even full submersion in up to 1 meter of water
for up to 5 minutes.
OPTICAL COATINGS:
All 3D binoculars featuer fully multi-coated optics, meaning that all glass
surfaces have multiple coatings applied to them to prevent internal reflection
and light loss. This results in images that are brighter, shaper and higher in
contrast.
As light travels through a roof prism binocular, it becomes slightly out of
phase. This affects the color balance and fidelity. Your 3D binoculars are
phase coated to correct this problem, forcing the light back into phase and
therefore resulting in more accurate color reproduction.
All 3D binoculars come with both a neck strap and a shoulder harness. You can choose either accessory to hold your binocular depending on your personal preference.
ATTACHING THE NECK STRAP:
- Thread the end of the strap up through the strap clip on the side of your binocular.
- Thread the strap through the first loop of the plastic strap piece.
- Continue to thread the strap through the second loop of the plastic strap piece.
- Adjust the strap to the desired length and pull tight.
- Slide the plastic cuff over the loose end of the neck strap.
ATTACHING THE SHOULDER HARNESS:
- Remove the security buttons from the quick release hooks on your binocular harness.
- Slide the security button loop upward through the strap clips on each side of your binocular.
- Feed the security button through the loop and tighten.
- Attach quick release hook onto loop.
- Slide security button into center of quick release hook.
USE OF A TRIPOD ADAPTER:
All Carson 3D binoculars are compatible with most standard binocular tripod adapters. To attach a tripod adapter to your binoculars:
- Twist the tripod adapter cap (located at the hinge in between the binocular barrels) counterclockwise and remove it.
- Attach the binocular tripod adapter into the threaded hole in the binocular turning it clockwise until tight.
- Attach the bottom of the tripod adapter to your tripod. NOTE: Tripod and adapter are not included with your 3D binoculars
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE:
Cleaning must be done safely to avoid scratching the lenses. This can be accomplished with the following procedure:
- Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft brush.)
- To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.
- For a more thorough cleaning, use a Carson C6® lens cleaning product.
- IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take them apart.
- Keep binoculars in case when not in use.
