About the device
Description
The Digex C50 Digital riflescope is designed for round-the-clock use.
These riflescopes are designed for hunting, target shooting and recreational shooting, observation and orientation.
The riflescope supports day and night observation modes and colour and black and white images.
In deep twilight, when the human eye is already unable to discern details of observed objects, the Digex C50 displays a bright image with correct colour rendering, prolonging hunting time into the night.
In night conditions (absence of starlight, moonlight), it is recommended to use an infrared illuminator with an 850 nm or 940 nm wavelength.

Zeroing
How to zero
Zeroing at a temperature close to the riflescope’s operating temperature is recommended.
Step 1. Take a shot
1. Shooting from a benchrest is recommended.
2. Set a target at a known distance.
3. Adjust the riflescope according to the Powering on and Image Setting section.
4. Select the zeroing profile (see Reticle & Zeroing -> Zeroing Profile main menu item)
5. Point the rifle at the center of the target and shoot.
Step 2. Align the reticle with the point of impact
1. Press and hold the controller button (6) to enter the main menu.
2. Add the distance you are aiming at (e.g. 100 meters): Reticle & Zeroing -> Add New Distance . Select the value for each distance digit by rotating the controller ring (6). Press the controller button (6) briefly to switch between digits. After setting the required distance, press and hold the controller button (6) to save it.

4. Press the controller button (6) briefly to enter the Windage/Elevation submenu.
5. While holding the reticle at the aiming point, move the auxiliary cross until it is aligned with the impact point by rotating the controller ring (6).
6. To change the direction of the auxiliary cross movement from horizontal to vertical, press the controller button (6) briefly.
Zoom Zeroing function:
To improve the accuracy of zeroing, you can change the magnification in the menu . The larger the magnification, the smaller the step of shifting the reticle on the display relative to the image from the sensor.
Click value, mm@100 m – when magnifying, x | 11.5 mm – 3.5х
5.75 mm – 7х 2.875 mm – 14х |
One-shot “Freeze Zeroing” function:
Using the Freeze function allows you to make adjustments without the need to hold the rifle precisely at the initial aiming point – freezing the zeroing screen (refer to Reticle & Zeroing menu item => Distance submenu => Zeroing Parameters Settings submenu => Freeze submenu or short pressing of the ON/OFF (3) button. The image will “freeze” and the icon will appear.
Step 3. Save the coordinates
1. Press and hold the controller button (6) to save a new position for the reticle. The reticle will be aligned with the impact point and it will exit the Windage/Elevation submenu.
2. Press and hold the controller button (6) again to exit the zeroing settings menu – the message “Zeroing coordinates saved” appears, confirming the successful operation.
3. Fire a second shot – now the point of impact and the aiming point must be matched.
