Scan Mode; Metering Range And Accuracy - Leica GEOVID 8x42 BRF Anleitung

Scan mode

The Leica Geovid BRF binoculars can also be
used for continuous metering. If you hold down
the release button (5) after the second press,
after approx. 0.5 s the binoculars switch to this
scan mode and then perform constant metering.
This can be identified by the changing display: A
new measured value is output approx. every 1.5 s.
Scan mode is particularly practical when metering
small targets.
Notes:
• Scan mode consumes more power than individual
metering due to the constant metering.
• Scan mode automatically shuts down after
10 s, to preserve the battery in case the button
is pressed accidentally.

Metering range and accuracy

The Leica Geovid BRF binoculars have a metering
accuracy of up to ±1 meter/yard.
The maximum range is achieved with highly
reflective target objects and visibility of 10 km.
The metering range is influenced by the following
factors:
Range
Colour of object
Angle to object
Object size
General brightness
Atmospheric
conditions
Object structure
With sunshine and good visibility, the ranges and
accuracies are as follows:
Range 10 m / yds up to approx. 1200 m / 1300 yds
Accuracy ±1 m / yd up to 350 m / 380 yds
±2 m / yds up to 700 m / 763 yds
±0.5 % above 700 m / 763 yds
