Technical Data - Zeiss VICTORY SF 8 x 42 Mode D'emploi

Note: Always use the same object to focus the image on both sides of the binoculars.
To focus other objects at varying distances, you then only need to use the focusing
knob (Fig. 1 / 4).
Attaching the carrying strap and protective cap
The carrying strap, eyepiece cap and protective lens cap are included in the pack-
aging. As shown in Fig. 2 + 3, the eyepiece cap and carrying strap are attached
to the binoculars by means of the carrying strap eyelet.
Before attaching the carrying strap, as shown in Fig. 3, the strap length should
be set to the desired length by shortening or lengthening the strap. On the other
side of the eyepiece cap follow the same sequence. The eyepiece cap can also be
put on only one side, if preferred.
The strap for the protective lens cap must be attached directly (either right or left)
to the protective lens cap. To fasten the strap of the protective lens cap on the
binoculars, use the carrying strap or one of the two eyelets for the carrying strap
connection.
Use of the eyepiece cap
The eyepiece cap is stuck on the eyecups. You can maintain your desired eye to
eyepiece distance with this. Remove the cover before using the binoculars.
Mounting on a tripod
Binoculars from the ZEISS VICTORY SF series can be mounted on any commercial
camera tripod using the ZEISS Binofix universal tripod adapter.
The order numbers for ZEISS tripods and the ZEISS Binofix universal tripod adapter
can be found under Accessories for ZEISS VICTORY SF.
Care and maintenance
The binoculars feature the ZEISS LotuTec
ing for the lens surfaces noticeably reduces contamination of the lenses through a
special smooth surface and the strong beading effect connected with it. All types
of contamination adhere less and can be quickly and easily removed, smear-free.
The LotuTec ® coating is also durable and abrasion resistant.
Please do not wipe coarse particles (e. g. sand) from the lenses, rather blow them
away or use a fine brush to remove them. Over time, fingerprints can corrode the
lens surface. Breathing on the lens and polishing with a clean optical cleansing
cloth is the easiest method of cleaning the lens surface. Dry storage and keeping
the outer lens surfaces well ventilated, especially in the tropics, helps to prevent
a possible mould film forming on the optics. Your ZEISS VICTORY SF binoculars
require no further special care.
