FUNCTIONS & USE

SLIDING HOOD WITH ALIGNMENT SITE

Slide the hood away from the body to protect the lens from exposure to rain or to keep direct sunlight from entering the spotting scope. When the object you wish to view is difficult to find, the sight built into the lens hood can be used to find the object.

TRIPOD SCREW

The tripod mount has a removable screw that allows the spotting scope to be attached to either 1/4 and 3/8 inch tripod heads. With the tripod screw inserted the mount can be used on 1/4 inch tripods. Removing the screw allows the scope to be attached to 3/8 inch tripods.

FILTER THREAD

The filter threads in front of the objective lens allow various types of filters to be attached to the spotting scope.

FOCUS KNOB

The focus knob of the spotting scope has a two-step mechanism; one for fine focusing and one for quick focusing. This system allows a smooth transition from quick focusing to fine adjustment.

FOCUSSING

When the object is substantially out of focus, use the quick focus knob, to bring the object into focus 3 times faster than when using the fine focus knob. The quick focus knob can focus from 6m to infinity in only two revolutions. The fine focus is convenient for fine focusing and slight adjustments.

  • Do not turn the focus knob beyond its turning range, as it will damage thefocusing mechanism.
