How to Use Binoculars
Binocualrs, Telescopes
From bird watching to watching Sports in a stadium, binoculars help people enjoy their pastime more effectively. Binocular brings closer by magnifying far-off objects but you must know how to you use them correctly.
Instructions to Use:
1. Put the binocular strap around your neck so that it saves the binocular to fall down suddenly.
2. Adjust the barrels of the binoculars; all you need to do is move the barrels closer together or further apart as you hold the binoculars up to your eyes. If you have adjusted the binoculars correctly, you should not see a black "border" when you look through the eyepieces.
3. Locate the central focus wheel, usually in the middle of the two barrels of the binoculars. Move the wheel slowly as you look at a particular object in the distance to get the best image for your eyes. You might need to re-focus from time to time from far off object to close object.
4. Fine-tune your viewing even more if you have a diopter focus mechanism on your binoculars. Not all binoculars have this focus element, which helps compensate for the difference in vision that you might experience in each of your eyes. The diopter focus adjustment wheel is usually on the right-hand barrel eyepiece.
5. Clean your binoculars after using them. A soft cloth is sufficient for the body of the binoculars. Treated tissue paper used to clean cameras and eye glasses is safe for wiping the lenses. Store binoculars in their carrying case when you're not using them.
Instructions to Clean:
1.Blow dust off each lens with a can of compressed air.
2.Clean off remaining dirt and grease from each lens with lens cleaner and a lens cloth. When cleaning, begin at the center of the lens and swirl towards the outer ends.
3.Scrub crevices of the case with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
4.Wipe the casing with a slightly damp cloth.
