The Nikon Laser Rangefinder uses an invisible

laser beam for measuring. It measures the time the

laser beam takes to travel from the rangefinder

to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and

measurement results may vary according to

climatic and environmental conditions, as well

as the color, surface finish, size, shape and other

characteristics of the target.

The following conditions facilitate measuring:

• Cloudy weather

• Bright-colored target

• Large-size target

• When laser incidence to the target's reflective

surface is straight

Measurement may be inaccurate or fail in the

following cases:

• In snow, rain or fog

• Small or slender target

• Black or dark target

• Target has stepped surface

• Moving or vibrating target

• When measuring the surface of water

• Target measured through glass

• When the target is glass or a mirror

• When laser incidence to the target's reflective

surface is oblique
