BRAUN Premium 10x50 WP: Fernglas richtig einstellen

Quick answer

Start with the center focus wheel for overall sharpness, then fine-tune with the diopter ring on the right eyepiece to match your eyesight.

Focus and diopter setup steps

1. 1. Set the diopter to zero: Turn the diopter ring (usually on the right eyepiece) to the center or zero mark. This gives you a neutral starting point before matching to your eyes. Common mistake: adjusting the diopter first without a reference target.
2. 2. Focus with the center wheel using your left eye only: Cover the right objective lens with the lens cap or your hand. Look through the left eyepiece and turn the center focus wheel until a distant object (e.g., a tree or sign at least 100 m away) is sharp. Checkpoint: the left eye is now perfectly focused.
3. 3. Adjust the diopter for your right eye: Uncover the right lens and cover the left lens instead. Look through the right eyepiece and turn only the diopter ring until the same object is equally sharp. Do not touch the center wheel. Common mistake: turning the center wheel instead of the diopter ring during this step.
4. 4. Confirm and lock the setting: Look through both eyes. The image should be crisp and comfortable. Note the diopter setting (e.g., the number or mark) so you can return to it quickly if the ring is moved accidentally. On the BRAUN Premium 10x50 WP, the diopter ring may have a slight resistance to prevent accidental shifts.
5. 5. Refocus for different distances: For objects at a different distance, use only the center focus wheel. The diopter setting compensates for the difference between your eyes and stays constant once set. If the image remains blurry after refocusing, repeat steps 2-4 to verify your diopter setting.
