Distance Metering - Leica GEOVID 8/10 x 42 BRF Manual De Instrucciones

Note: When looking through the binoculars with
the right or left eye only, the other eye should
be kept tightly shut, or simply place your hand
in front of the lens on the other side of the
binoculars.

Distance metering

To measure the distance to an object, you must
lock onto it precisely. To do this, activate the tar-
get mark by pressing the release button (5) once.
Once the button is released, the target mark
remains illuminated for around another 4 s. If the
button is held down, the target marker is
illuminated continuously. While it is illuminated,
lock onto the object and carry out the distance
metering by pressing the release button again.
The measured value is then displayed. The target
mark disappears briefly during metering.
You can start a new measurement at any time by
pressing the release button again, as long as the
target mark is illuminated.
If the object distance is less than 10 meters /
yards or if the range is exceeded or the object
does not reflect sufficient light, the display
shows "- --".
When the display goes out, the distance meter is
automatically deactivated.
Notes:
• Depending on the angle of the optical systems to
each other, i.e. the set interpupillary distance,
the displays may appear slightly slanted.
• The Leica Geovid BRF binoculars are available
in different versions displaying the distance in
meters or yards. Externally, the different ver-
sions can be recognised by the information on
the cover of the central focusing dial.
