▪
Can the brightness in the digital Pointfinder be adjusted?
Yes, when turning the digital Poinfinder on it is indicated in the display that you can change the brightness

▪
Why is the laser dot on distance on short distances not centred in the crosshair?
It is the parallax effect due to the distance between the laser window and the digital Pointfinder optics. This
effect occurs only when the digital Pointfinder is used on targets below 10m.
In this case the laser dot appears displaced in reference to the crosshair. This is not an error !
For distances below 10m please rely on the real laser dot.
▪
How accurate is the tilt sensor in the Leica DISTO™ D810 touch?
The accuracy of the tilt sensor in the device is ±0.1° to the housing of the device. To the laser beam the
maximum deviation can be up to -0.1° and +0.2°. This applies at room temperature (20°C - 30°C). At any
other temperatures the maximum deviation increases by ±0.1°.
▪
