Frequently Asked Questions - Classic S ZEISS

How to adjust the interpupillary distance on the Classic S binoculars?

Separate or bring together the two eyepiece tubes (1) until you see a single circular image. This adjustment adapts the binoculars to your interpupillary distance.

How to adjust focus if I don't wear glasses?

For emmetropes, set the central wheel (2) and the diopter correction ring (3) to 0. For nearsighted or farsighted people, use the central wheel. If your two eyes have different visual acuities, first adjust the left eye with the wheel, then the right eye with the diopter correction ring.

How to adjust focus if I wear glasses?

Fold down the retractable rubber eyecups (as on eyepiece B). Thus, your glasses already correct vision defects, and you only use the central wheel for focusing.

How to use image stabilization?

Press the button (4) to activate stabilization. This reduces blur caused by hand shake. For prolonged observations, a camera tripod is recommended.

How to clean the binocular lenses?

Never rub large particles. First use a fine brush or blow them off. For fingerprints, breathe on the lenses to fog them, then wipe with a clean optical cloth.

Can I use the binoculars in the rain?

Yes, the Classic S binoculars are splash-proof. However, after use, dry them thoroughly and ensure good ventilation to prevent mold.

How to safely transport the binoculars?

Use the provided case or an accessory pouch. Check that the stabilization button (4) is not pressed accidentally. Keep the original packaging for long journeys.

What precautions should be taken with image stabilization?

Do not rotate the binoculars rapidly around the optical axis and avoid sudden shocks when stabilization is active. This could damage the system.

What to do if the binoculars are exposed to high humidity?

Keep the binoculars dry and ensure good ventilation of the external lenses. In tropical climates, this prevents mold formation.

Is it possible to mount the binoculars on a tripod?

Yes, a camera tripod is recommended for prolonged observations. Use an adapter if necessary (not included). Make sure the stabilization button is not activated during mounting.

Instructions for use

Mode d'emploi

Congratulations on your outstanding new binoculars. Enjoy the impressive experience of undistorted image reproduction which is distinguished by perfect brilliance and excellent colour accuracy.

Carl Zeiss brand products are characterised by outstanding optical performance, accurate processing and long durability. Please observe the following instructions for use, so that you enjoy optimum use of your product and it can be a faithful companion to you for many years.

Setting the pupillary distance

Fold the two eyepiece tubes (1) together or unfold them until you see a single circular image when looking through both eyepieces. Your binoculars are now correctly adjusted for your pupillary distance.

Focusing

If you do not normally wear eyeglasses, you will see distant objects sharply if the dioptic adjustment (3) is set to 0. For closer ranges, this setting must be changed by turning the knurled center focusing wheel (2).

If the degree of shortsightedness or farsightedness is the same in both of your eyes, either deficiency can be compensated for by turning the center wheel. If your eyes have different visual acuities and if you do not wear eyeglasses, proceed as follows for focusing:

1. Look through the binoculars with both eyes and cover objective of the right-hand barrel with your hand. Focus the binoculars for your left eye by turning the center wheel (2).
2. Cover left-hand barrel with your hand and turn the diopter scale for the right eye without changing the setting of the center wheel until the same target is in focus. The setting in which the image is just sharp and no more is that in which your eye muscles are relaxed.

The different refractive powers of your eyes have now been compensated -- you can see sharply and clearly with both eyes.

If you wear your eyeglasses when looking through the 20 × 60 ~S , the above procedure is not needed, as the eyeglasses correct these deficiencies including astigmatism.

The center focusing wheel is used to adjust the binoculars to varying distances.

Eyeglass-wearers should fold down the rims of the soft rubber eyecups over the top eyepiece mounts, see B. Users without eyeglasses should use the binoculars with extended eyecups, see A. Only two adjustments are required for this conversion.

Correct viewing using the stabilization system

When you press key (4), the optical system of your 20x60 S is stabilized — shaking of the hands is largely compensated. For prolonged observation from one location, it is advisable to use a camera tripod. Position the eyecups firmly against your eyebrows or the distance portions of your glasses and focus the target using the center wheel.

Care and maintenance

Carl Zeiss binoculars need no special care or maintenance. Do not wipe off coarse dirt particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses, but blow them off or remove them with a soft brush.

Fingerprints on the lens surfaces may affect them in the course of time. The easiest way to keep the lenses clean is by breathing on them and wiping with a soft optical cleaning cloth or optical cleaning paper.

To avoid a possible fungal coating which is common in the tropics, store the optics in a dry place and always ensure good aeration of the lens surface.

Please note in particular:

If possible, please only transport your 20x60 S Binocular in the case provided or in the bag which is available as an accessory - this is the best protection for your instrument. When transporting the instrument, please make sure that the stabilization key is not accidentally pressed by any objects lying on the binoculars.

Please keep the original packing in a safe place. It is advisable to use the original packing when transporting the instrument over long distances.

Caution

• Rapid turning of the instrument about its optical axis may slightly impair its functioning.
  Pronounced shocks or jolting movements should be avoided, in particular when key (4) is pressed. Otherwise, this may result in damage to the stabilization system which is not covered by the guarantee.
• Do not under any circumstances look through the binoculars at the sun or laser light sources - serious eye injury may otherwise result.
