The Brilliance of Canon Technology in Binoculars. contribute to shaking hands and blurred images. The more powerful the binoculars you are using, the more time you are likely to be spending on your subjects, and the more tiring and distracting this shaking will become. Canon's line of high-quality binoculars includes a smart set of IS models that feature Canon's remarkable Image Stabilizer technology. Lose the Shakes and Focus on Your Subject! When outdoors, there can be a dozen reasons why your hands will shake, making true, clear focus on a given subject all but impossible. Wind, cold, simple motion, extensive time spent focusing on a given subject or simple anticipation all The Outdoors Moves at Its Own Pace. Lock-in on It with Canon's IS Binoculars. A tripod won't do it when your subject is moving on its own. You need the ability to follow your subject under a variety of outdoor conditions, and Canon's IS technology makes tracking and keeping your outdoor subjects in view easy. Canon has taken its Image Stabilizer ON renowned Image Stabilizer technology from its high-performance camcorder family and adapted it for its IS binoculars as well. follow your always on the move, outdoor subjects regardless of the conditions you are faced with. Optical Image Stabilization System The Image Stabilizer system features a Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) that instantly and precisely adjusts the visual path through the binoculars to maintain a perfectly steady image. Whether you are on a moving boat chasing a school of fish, walking through the forest tracking a pair of deer, or trying to follow a fast-moving sailboat race, simply switching on Canon's Image Stabilizer get you the sharp, clear and steady images you are after. Perfectly Horizontal Tipped Upward Tipped Downward Image Stabilization in Compact Binoculars The Canon 8x25 IS continues the tradition of technical superiority in compact, lightweight binoculars by being the lightest and smallest in The VAP Image Stabilization System is available in Canon binoculars with 10x, 12x, 15x and 18x magnification. Two sensors detect vertical and horizontal motion, and a micro-processor adjusts the Vari-Angle Prisms in the right and left telescopes. Each prism is expanded in a bellows motion to instantly adjust the refraction angle of the image. The result is high-magnification and a clear, steady image at the push of a button, without the need for any additional equipment, such as a tripod. Now, you are free to Image Stabilizer OFF Whatever it is that you want to aid your eyes to see, there’s a pair of Canon binoculars that does the job better than any other binoculars in the world. Optical technology borrowed from Canon’s renowned EF lenses, Image Stabilization technology adapted from Canon’s industry-leading video camcorders, and a commitment to quality and utility that has been a Canon hallmark for decades all contribute to the superiority of these binoculars. 4 Long eye-relief accommodates users who also wear eyeglasses, and superb ergonomics are observed in other important features such as comfortable gripping surfaces and center mounted focusing for one hand operation. Canon is a leader in protecting our natural treasures, and for that reason environmentally safe non-lead glass is used in all optical parts. 5 its class. The reduced size and weight are achieved through use of Canon's Tilt Image Stabilization system, which eliminates the standard larger, more complex bellows prism used in highermagnification Canon binoculars. In its place, Canon employs a single floating element in each telescope. The Image Stabilizer optics are driven simultaneously, instead of separately, reducing both size and power consumptions. Designed to Be Used Your Way Canon binoculars are built with comfort in mind. Compact and lightweight, they can be used for long periods of time, and can be carried and held comfortably. All models are ergonomically designed and come with non-slip coatings for easier gripping. Certain models, including the 7x42 A WP are fully waterproof, while others are "all-weather" for use in a variety of climate conditions. All models also feature environmentally friendly, lead-free glass. Selecting the Right Binoculars for You. You know that the Canon name assures high quality, technological leadership, and thoughtful ergonomics. Do you need to know anything else about choosing a pair of binoculars? Well, just a little bit. What do these numbers mean — 15x50, 8x25? What does field of view do for me? Looking through 10x 5˚ binoculars at a subject 1,000 yards away The two numbers used to describe any pair of binoculars are their magnification — 8x, 12x, 15x and so on — and the diameter of their objective lenses — 25mm, 36mm, 50mm, and so on. The larger the first number is, the larger the object will appear to be in the objective lens. For instance, if you use a 10x lens and look at an object that is 100 yards away, it appears to be the same size as an object located just 10 yards away. Wide fieldof-view The second number, the size of the objective lens, is important because the larger the objective lens, the more light it can admit for brighter, more detailed images, and the better suited they will be for lowlight situations. An ATV 100 yards away with the naked eye. An ATV 10 yards away with the naked eye. What makes an image brighter in some binoculars than in others? Objective Element Size Simply put, this is the size of the front element. The larger the lens in front of the binoculars, the more light it can admit. A number of optical factors affect the brightness of an image, including the amount of incidental light that is reflected by the lens. An uncoated lens will reflect away as much as 8% of the incidental light, significantly dimming the image. Canon's Super Spectra Coating prevents that reflection. Other factors include: Twilight Coefficient The rules change in low light. Magnification becomes a more important factor in how much detail you can see than other measurements might. If you're going to be using binoculars in day and low light situations, you should use a higher magnification than you would for standard daylight viewing. How can I judge image quality? Narrow fieldof-view Field-of-view is simply the arc that you can achieve at a given moment. The real field-of-view gets narrower as the binoculars' magnification increases. The apparent field-ofview is a product of the magnification times the real field-of-view, so that 10x binoculars with a five-degree field-of-views seem to have a 50degree sweep. Canon's line of binoculars is engineered with generous fields-of-view ranging from 45 to 67 degrees. This makes it easier for you to locate and properly follow your subject. 12x36 IS II Binoculars When purchasing a pair of binoculars that is right for you, you will want to compare some of the key features and attributes of each model. Some of these attributes include: Canon’s Super Spectra Multi Coating One Image or Two? If the parallel tubes of the binoculars are not perfectly aligned with each other, due to manufacturing defect or accident, you'll see two similar but distinct images. Do not buy these binoculars. They can't be repaired, and the more you use them, the more distracting these problems will be. Exit Pupil The size of the image that emerges at the binoculars' eyepiece is the exit pupil. For binoculars intended mainly for daytime use, the ideal exit pupil size is between 2.5 and 3mm, about the size of the pupil in a typical viewer's eye in daylight. For low light, a larger exit pupil may be more desirable. True Colors or Mud? Focus the binoculars on a white object, and compare the whiteness you see in other binoculars. Especially at higher magnifications, colors can merge and become far less distinct than they are to your naked eye. This is called chromatic aberration, and is corrected by Canon engineers through the use of a UD lens from Canon's SLR EF lenses for the highest magnification models, and with Super Spectra Coating on all lenses. When bright.... Viewer’s pupil diameter is 3.0mm. When dark.... With a 10x magnification binoculars, an ATV 100 yards away will seem as if it were 10 yards away. Pupil dilates as wide as 7.0mm. 7 8 15x50 IS All Weather Binoculars Sharp Edges or Blurs? Compare binoculars by focusing on a very sharp edge, such as stars in the night sky or the lettering on a sign. Those images should be absolutely crystal clear with any binoculars you are using. Chromatic aberration cancelled out. Chromatic aberration causes the highlighted part to look pink. Clear image. Clear All Around? Wide field-of-view has become a popular feature and some models on the market offer width at the cost of image distortion as your eye moves away from the center of the image. Focus your binoculars on a simple surface, like a brick wall, and look at the edges of the circle to make sure the image is not distorted. Because of lens aberration, the entire image appears blurry. True Image or Funhouse Effect? Focus on the parallel edges of a tall building and look to see whether the lines seem to warp near the image's outside edges. They should remain perfectly parallel. Clear image all the way to the edge. Perfect parallel image. The image near the edge of the circle is distorted. The tower is slanted and has a spoolshaped effect. 9 Superior Selection of Binoculars Featuring Image Stabilization.

Look through the binoculars with both eyes, and adjust them for the spacing of your own eyes (with the IS series, use the eyepiece barrels). The instrument is correctly adjusted once both views merge into one circle. • Bright binoculars with the largest objective lens in the non-IS series, with an effective diameter of 42mm and pupil diameter of 6mm. • Waterproof functions for reliable, all-weather operation. • Aspherical lens used in the eyepieces gives superb low-distortion imaging performance. • Specially designed upper surface fits snugly in your fingers for a safe, secure grip, even with wet hands. Next, adjust the diopter adjustment rings to your eyesight. This is an important step, as each person has different eyesight. 2. With your right eye closed, look through the left eyepiece with your left eye. Using the focusing ring, adjust the focus on a stationary, detailed object. 3. Now, close your left eye and look through the right eyepiece. If the object is in focus, the diopter was adjusted correctly. Otherwise, use the right diopter adjustment ring to readjust the focusing. Incorporating a field-flattener lens in each eyepiece, the waterproof 8x32 WP provides excellent optical performance with a wide field-of-view. 4. By adjusting the focusing ring • Nitrogen-filled waterproof construction combined with compact roof-prism design and rubberized non-slip grip, ideal for marine use. • High-magnification (8x), long-eye relief and widefield viewing (60°) produces bright image even in poor light. • Multi-coated Canon optics including field-flattener for excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast. each time you look at an object, the diopter will also automatically focus. Remembering the readings of the diopters will make it easier to readjust the binoculars after someone else has used them. Please note that eye spacing and diopter adjustment is different for each person. Another person would have to adjust the eye spacing and diopter again. For eyeglass wearers If you look through the binoculars while wearing eyeglasses, your eye will be further away from the eyepieces, and scenes will gradually shade off at the edges. To prevent this, use the foldaway rubber eyepiece rings if available.
