Maintenance Tips
-
Clean lenses gently: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to protect UHD glass and maintain maximum clarity.
-
Use lens covers consistently: Prevent dust, scratches, and environmental buildup when not in use.
-
Avoid touching glass: Fingerprints reduce brightness and image sharpness—handle by the body only.
-
Maintain focus wheel: Keep it free of dirt and grit for smooth, precise focusing.
-
Check hinge tension: Ensure interpupillary adjustment stays firm for stable viewing alignment.
-
Dry after exposure: Even though waterproof and fogproof, wipe down after rain or humidity.
-
Store properly: Keep in a protective case in a cool, dry place to extend lifespan.
-
Avoid impacts: Durable magnesium chassis, but minimizing drops helps preserve optical alignment.
