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:
1. Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position.
2. 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.

ED GLASS

Your Carson 3D-ED binoculars contain ED Glass (extra low dispersion glass) in their lenses. This ED Glass helps prevent
chromatic aberration (fringes of color that appear around the viewing image).

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:
1. Adjust the interpupillar distance.
2. Rotate the right eyepiece to its index mark and
sight on a fixed distant object.
3. Cover the right objective (front) lens with your
hand, then rotate the central focusing wheel until
the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
4. Cover the left objective (front) lens with your
hand then rotate the right eyepeice until the
image is sharp. (Note this setting for future use.)
5. Image should now be focused to your individual
eyestrength.

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 re ections from your view.
If you are an eyeglass wearer, lowering
the eyecups will bring your eyes closer to the
binocular lenses, providing an improved eld of view.
Waterproo ng
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 feature fully multi-coated optics, meaning that all glass surfaces have multiple
