Outdoor use can leave grit and moisture on binoculars. Nikon's official precautions explain lens care, shock protection and dry storage. Always check your model's waterproof rating.

0 / 6 done

1. Check for grit, water and fingerprints; gently wipe moisture from the exterior with a clean dry cloth.
2. Remove lens dust and sand using a soft oil-free optical brush before rubbing the glass.
3. Clean fingerprints very gently with quality oil-free lens tissue or materials approved for the model. Avoid ordinary tissues and velvet.
4. Do not force focus or diopter rings past their stops, and protect the binoculars from drops and impacts.
5. Dry the exterior after rain. Follow model-specific maker instructions for waterproof models exposed to seawater or mud.
6. Avoid hot, damp or dusty storage. If needed, use a suitable container with desiccant; do not leave damp binoculars shut in a case.
