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
packaging. 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 eye-
piece 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
for the lens surfaces noticeably reduces contamination of the lenses through a spe-
cial 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. Blow them off the
lens, or use a soft brush! Over time, fingerprints can corrode the lens surface. Breath-
ing on the lens and polishing with a clean optical cleansing cloth is the easiest meth-
od 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.
