Prism System
Your Carson 3D binoculars feature a roof prism system.
The prisms overlap closely allowing the objective (front) lenses to
line up directly with the eyepieces. The result is a slim,
streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms
that magnify and correct the image are in
a straight line.
Eye Adjustments
How to adjust for distance between your eyes:
The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary
distance,” varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye, follow these simple steps:
1. Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position
2. Grasp each barrel rmly. Move the barrels closer together
or farther apart until you see a single circular eld.
Always reset your binoculars to this position before using.

ED Glass
Your Carson 3D-ED binoculars contain ED Glass (extra low dispersion glass) in their lenses.
This ED Glass helps prevent chromatic aberration (fringes of color that appear around the
viewing image).
Focusing your binoculars:
Carson 3D binoculars have a center focus wheel and an independent right diopter eyepiece to account
for small dierences in the strength of each eye. Please follow the steps below to focus properly:
1. Adjust the interpupillary distance.
2. Rotate the right eyepiece to its index mark and sight on a xed distant object.
3. Cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the central focusing wheel until
the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
4. Cover the left objective (front) lens with your hand then rotate the right eyepiece until the image is
sharp. (Note this setting for future use.)
5. Image should now be focused to your individual eyestrength.

Waterproong
All Carson 3D binoculars are nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed to protect your binocular from water
damage. They are designed to protect against accidental splashing, rain or even full submersion in
up to 1 meter of water for up to 5 minutes.
Optical Coatings
All 3D binoculars feature fully multi-coated optics, meaning that all glass surfaces have multiple
coatings applied to them to prevent internal reection and light loss. This results in images that are
brighter, sharper and higher in contrast.
Twist-Up Eyecups
Your Carson 3D binocular features twist-up
eyecups designed to exclude extraneous light.
If you do not wear eyeglasses, you may choose
to twist the eyecups out to block stray light
and reections from your view.
If you are an eyeglass wearer, lowering
the eyecups will bring your eyes closer to the
binocular lenses, providing an improved eld of view.
