Remedy
Set the filter slider to the open
position.
Engage it properly.
Set the filter slider to the open
position.

tion collar and adjust it to find
the best position.
Clean them thoroughly.
Adjust it so that it circumscribes
the field of view.
Make sure that the revolving
nosepiece clicks properly into
place.
Engage it properly in the light
path.
Move the filter slider until the
open position is engaged in the
light path.
Move the filter slider until it clicks
into place.
Adjust its centering.
