The interpupillary distance is the distance between the centers of your pupils. To adjust:
- Mantingueu els prismàtics fins als ulls.
- Grasp the two barrels of the binoculars firmly.
- Move the barrels closer together or further apart until you see a single, clear circular field of view. If you see two overlapping circles, the IPD is not correctly set.

4.2 Adjusting Eyecups for Eye Relief
The PAPILIOII6.5x21 features slide-type eyecups to accommodate both spectacle-wearing and un-spectacled users.
- For Un-spectacled Users: Extend the eyecups fully by sliding them outwards. This provides the optimal eye relief for comfortable viewing.
- For Spectacle-Wearing Users: Retract the eyecups by sliding them inwards. This allows your eyes, with spectacles on, to be at the correct distance from the eyepieces to see the full field of view. Adjust as needed until you see a complete, clear image without vignetting.

4.3 Enfocament
The binoculars use a central focus system for quick and precise focusing.
- Hold the binoculars to your eyes and look at a distant object.
- Rotate the central focus wheel (located between the barrels) until the image appears sharp and clear.
- For close-up observation (as close as 50cm), continue rotating the focus wheel. The unique design allows for extremely close focusing, bringing small details into sharp view.

4.4 Using as a Monocular (Single Eye Observation)
While primarily designed as binoculars, the PAPILIOII6.5x21 can be used for single-eye observation if desired. Simply close one eye and use the other to look through one of the eyepieces. Adjust focus as usual.
