FOCUSING / DIOpTER COMpENSATION
On the Leica Geovid HD-B binoculars, the focus is set
for objects different distances away using the central
focusing dial (5).
The two diopter compensation dials (4) are used to
compensate for individual eyesight problems when
viewing without glasses and to focus the reticule.
Carefully run through the steps described below. Only
then can you utilize the full capabilities of the optical
system.
1. Turn the two diopter compensation dials (4) to their
zero positions.
2. When viewing with both eyes, adjust them to a
distant object using the central focusing dial.
3. Press the main / release button (7) to activate the
reticule.

4. When the reticule appears, while continuing to view
with both eyes, adjust the right diopter
compensation dial (red index) so that the reticule
can be seen in focus in the right optical system.
5. Then, with the reticule still activated but only
viewing with the right eye, use the central focusing
dial to adjust the image in the right lens until it is
exactly in focus.
6. Then repeat this procedure for the left lens using
the left diopter dial (4).
7. The set values can be read off using the “+” or “-“
values on the diopter scales (4a).
Note:
When looking through just the left or right side, the
other eye should be squeezed shut or you can simply
hold the corresponding half of the binoculars on the
lens at the front.
