    Doublet field-flattener: Makes the images sharp throughout the field of view. This consists of two lenses. Erecting prisms: Corrects the inverted image. Vari-Angle Prism: System which stabilizes the image, using Canon’ s unique optical technology. Objective lens: Pulls in the image of a distant object.

    Eye Spacing/Diopter Adustment/ Rubber Eyepieces 1) 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 Remembering the readings of the diopters will be convenient once both views merge into one circle.

    The first binoculars were invented about 400 years ago. There are now several hundred different models of binoculars manufactured and sold throughout the world. Although the concept of seeing a magnified image with your own eyes has not changed, there are two distinctly different types of binoculars: prism binoculars and Galileo binoculars.

    Prism Binoculars/Galileo Binoculars/ Porro Prisms/Roof Prisms Basically binoculars are made up of the objective lenses for long focal points, and the eyepiece lens, for short focal points. The light from each to the two objective lenses which forms the image of an object (Fig 4-a), passes through the barrel and hits the eyepiece lens, which enlarges the image (Fig 4-b).

    Magnification refers to the ratio of the size as seen with the naked eye and size obtained with the binoculars. For example, if a pair of binoculars has 10x magnification, an object will be enlarged 10 times. In other words, something 100 meters away will look 10 meters away through the binoculars.

    The optical structure of each model of binoculars is different, so even if the magnification rating is the same, how much view the pair of binoculars can pull in will differ. The width of the view you can see through the binoculars is called the field of view.

    Brightness varies from one model of binoculars to another. Brightness varies with the price and size of the binoculars. There are many degrees of brightness according to one’ s needs. 1) Exit pupil The bright circle visible when the eyepiece lens array is viewed about 10 inches away from the eyes is called the exit pupil.

    Canon uses a “super spectra” coating, which has been highly praised for its efficacy with Canon’ s EF lenses. Canon also coats the prisms as well to ensure Left: lens not coated. Right: lens coated. The lens bright and clear images.

    The ideal binoculars are ones that make you forget you are looking through binoculars. If you purchase a pair with a wide field of view, and the image quality is superior (enough that there isn’t much difference from looking with the naked eye), you will have many enjoyable hours of use.

    If the curvature of the field is large, the edges will be blurred. It is not recommended to purchase such binoculars. To greatly decrease the curvature of the field, Canon uses a field-flattener lens and an aspherical lens. With Canon binoculars, you will have beautiful image quality all round.

    Canon’ s exclusive optical design with two field-flattener lenses, lenses which are normally reserved for high-grade binoculars. By using two lenses, Canon has achieved a wide field of view of 67˚ (12x36 IS, 15x50 IS ALL WEATHER, 18x50 IS ALL WEATHER), with unrivaled sharpness.

    Doublet Field-Flattener Lens/ Field- Flattener Lens/Closest Focusing Distance Lightweight and water resistant: Excellent for outdoor use. The bird that you were following from afar suddenly came close to you. One problem you encounter is the closest focusing distance. In general, the more magnification the binoculars have, the longer the focusing distance.
