The third generation compact 12x36 IS III Image Stabilised Binocular from Canon is an ideal choice for hand-held viewing.
These all-round binoculars are compact and light in weight, making them ideal for bird watching and outdoor activities. The built-in Image Stabilizer eliminates hand held shake and reduces eye strain.
The binocular runs on two AA alkaline or NiMh batteries that will power the optic for up to nine hours at 25°C.
Double Field Flattener
A double lens group that compensates for curvature of field, ensuring excellent image flatness and clarity.
Optical Image Stabilizer
A computer-controlled Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) system that
compensates for movement to provide a clearer view. Featuring an IS system adapted from the lens systems, it compensates for hand-shake to make it a great option for nature-watching and sporting events. With Vari-Angle prisms between the front lens and the main prism, when the internal gyro sensors detect movement they direct the prisms to compensate and correct for the shaking to produce smoother views and panning. A microcomputer enhances IS operation, aids shorter startup times, and enables more efficient energy consumption.
Porro Prism
A combination of right-angle prisms that ensures the image
is the right way up for viewing. The use of prisms also
shortens the distance between the objective and eyepiece
lenses, reducing the size and weight of the binoculars.
Long Eye-Relief
Allows users who wear glasses to see the entire image and a long 14.5mm eye relief provides comfortable viewing.
Super Spectra Multicoating
Extremely thin layers of chemicals applied to the surfaces of selected lenses and prisms to reduce unwanted reflections. This improves image sharpness, contrast and colour balance.
