field of view adjustment: What is the correct way to make it see as much of an area as possible?

We have two of five with a very narrow field of view even at widest setting. We believe these are faulty as the other three show nice wide views.

I don't know what the angle of vision is (I'm sure it's in the specifications), but a real life example: I have this mounted to look at my back garden, and I can see in good detail around 30ft wide field of view, at around 10ft distance. In other words, I can see around 30ft left-to-right of what's around 10ft away from the camera...

There's a little knob on the side to adjust it to your vision. you have to adjust it to suit your needs. You can see it pictured in the sample image.

As far as I know, there's no focus adjust. It's auto-focus, and everything in the FOV appears in focus all the time. I've never seen anything be out of focus.

For proper eye relief you should use one of offset mounts, like the Burris PEPR or Vortex mount; it will not be above the sight, but at magnification you won't see it.

Make sure the current sight is graduated at the correct distance. It should be fine.

I believe the fish-eye filter merely gives you a fisheye-like distortion. The wideness of the view will depend entirely on the lens you use.

In order to optimize the best viewing position, you can adjust the tilt of themonitor by using both of your hands to hold the edges of the monitor asshown in the figure below.The monitor can be adjusted to 15 degrees up or 5 degrees down

"When seen in the picture, The max height of field of view is approximately 0.85mm with 10X objective. The width is longer about 1mm."

If you wear glasses, they need to be on. There is no adjustment. It is just one field of view.

Yes, there is a diopter adjustment (very small) dial just to the left of the view finder.

Yes, if you have a clear line of sight to the object you want to see. If you mean something on the ground, remember that the horizon may be an obstruction depending on the distance, eye's hight, and the target's hight.

To focus on the display inside the range finder, adjust until it's not blurry.

Thank you for the response. But that is not it. I have walked through all the "Aspect' setting and the problem still exists in each area. It is very bad in the zoom setting.

No it is just supposed to allow you to have a wider field of view. It looks fish eye-like. In my opinion it makes the images look blurry and actually reduces the quality.

Ditto on the other answers, plus I added a Wide Angle Converter Lens. Expensive, but worth the price to avoid panning.

I don't know how to determine the field of vision in terms of feet or yards. My impression was that I saw what I expected, both in range and detail. In fact, I was pleased with the range and the details when I first tried it. It took me a few minutes to get my bearings because this is the first night vision device I've tried. Perhaps to put it in perspective, I stood on my back deck and looked into the approx. 2.5 ft wide by 4 ft high window on my shed which is about 20 yards away--I could a rope inside the shed, window panes, and other objects inside the shed. So, at about 12 to 15 yards I could just see the 2.5' by 4' window missing (blocking out) only a few inches on the height. I hope this helps.
