Te Whakatikatika i ngā Kapu Kanohi
The twist-up eyecups allow for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. Twist the eyecups up or down until you achieve a full field of view without any dark rings or shadows around the edges.
Twist-up eyecups provide customized eye relief.
Te Whakatikatika i te Tawhiti i waenganui i ngā Pupillary (IPD)
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the centers of your pupils. To adjust, hold the binoculars with both hands and bend the hinge until you see a single, clear circular field of view. The Razor UHD 10x42 has an IPD range of 56mm - 76mm.
Adjust the hinge to match your interpupillary distance.
