Hello.
You have to have a cd software that is supported by mac.
You can check from the official website of the brand and see if there's any drivers or cd available for Mac.
I bought the 10x25 camera
It is common for binoculars to have one independently focusable eyepiece. If one eyepiece can be rotated, then that is the case.
If that is the case, focus through the one that DOES NOT rotate using the center control until you get a sharp image on that side. Then rotate the eyepiece on the blurry side until the blurry side is sharp. If you succeed at this, from henceforth the center control will focus both eyes adequately
I am seeing a double image whel I look through my binocular.
Hi,
Most binoculars should allow you to grip the two sides and pull them closer together to fit the distance between your eyes.. Have you tried this?
What you should see is the two images come together to form one.
If you have tried this already and you still get the two images then it's possible the model is just too wide for your eyes.. If they're new you could try return them for another type that fit better..
If this works for you then here are the instructions for setting up the binoculars to give you the best result for your eyesight..
This is more common than you would think.. Here's how to set up a pair of binoculars to suit yourself.
Any good binocular will be able to do this and the reason is to allow you to adjust them for the difference in strenght between your two eyes. I wear glasses myself and sometimes contact lenses so it's good to be able to quickly adjust them.
1. turn the binoculars over so you are looking at the underside.
2. on the eyepieces can you see on one eye(usually the right eye) a little plus - minus marking. The eyepiece should be able to rotate a little to each side of this marking.
3. Set the rotating eyepiece to the middle setting.
4. Look through the binoculars as normal and bring the two sides together until you form the two circles that you see into one.
5. Pick an object app 10 meters away.
6 Presuming that the adjustable eyepiece is on the right hand side then close your right eye, look at the middle distance object you chose with your left eye and use the central focusing knob/wheel in the middle to bring your left eyepiece into focus.
7. Now, close your left eye and adjust the rotating right hand eyepiece while looking at the same object until your right eyepiece is in focus.
8. The binoculars should now be set for the differences in strenght of your eyes and you can use the middle focus control as normal.
Most binoculars have a soft rubber eyepiece that can be folded back for people who wear glasses but I, like most people I know who wear glasses, find it horribly uncomfortable.
This method allows you to set them for yourself and if someone else uses your binoculars you can quickly reset them for you.
Hope this helps...
- Oh yeah, sorry, forgot to mention.. This set up is so you can use them without wearing your glasses.. Much more comfortable!!
See two images at higher power.
Your binoculars are out of collimation. That means that the optical path needs to be aligned. Binoculars are designed so that the focus point of each barrel is the same over long and as short as possible distances. Binoculars that are properly aligned will still show a double image if you attempt to focus at something close that is too close for the models design. However this is not the same for long distances. The image at a long distance must not be doubled.
If they are under warranty and you haven't damaged them by dropping etc send them for repair to the manufacturer or ask the retailer where to send them.
If you are going to pay to have them fixed get a quote first. Binoculars that are of the zoom variety are not well thought of among binocular officionados as the quality of image degrades at higher magnification. For the price of repair you may be able to source a higher quality non zoom binocular.
What type of USB cable does these
Well, there are standard USB A and B, mini A and B and micro A and B that are recognized as industry standards. Then there are proprietary designs used by one manufacturer. Sharper Image went into bankruptcy and I assume the brand was sold off. So without a model number its impossible to determine who made the item for the seller.
Lost the usb cord need new one
You should be able to pick a new usb cable up from any electronics store like Radio Shack. Take the binoculars with you and they can match up a cable for them. Simple as that. Let me know how this turns out.

Cross hairs do not adjust. Tell me what to do please?
All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'.
You posted to optics, so let's guess is a telescopic rifle sight?
It is impossible to see and movement as the crosshairs move such a tiny amount. Half a millimetre in the sight is 10 feet at the target. The only way to zero in sights is on a fixed bench rest at the range.
If you really think they are faulty, return them to the maker for repair.
