Troubleshooting

Image appears shaky even with IS on.

Ensure the IS button is activated and that the batteries have sufficient power. Try holding the binoculars more steadily and reducing the amount of movement.

Image is blurry.

Adjust the focus using the central focus knob and the diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece until the image is sharp.

Image is dark or dim.

Ensure that the objective lenses are clean and free of obstructions. Check the lighting conditions; low light may reduce image brightness.

Image has chromatic aberration (color fringing).

While the UD element reduces this, it may still appear in high-contrast situations. Try adjusting the focus slightly or changing your viewing angle.
