Canon's 18x50 IS binoculars incorporate an optical image stabilizer for
shake-free viewing and minimal eye fatigue. This technology was first
developed for Canon video camcorders and is now available in many of
Canon's binoculars. The system employs a Vari-Angle Prism, dual
transparent plates, independent vertical and horizontal sensors, and a
dedicated microprocessor to continuously adjust the prism to maintain a
steady image.
The 18x50 IS binoculars feature a water-resistant,
shock-resistant rubber coating for a nonslip grip and better
durability. If you get caught in the rain and still want to view, you
don't have to worry about the optics fogging up. These binoculars
deliver high magnification and wide-field viewing. Controls for
focusing and image stabilization are centrally located and accessible
by both hands. These binoculars provide long eye relief for extra
comfort.
Image Stabilization and More
With any high magnification binoculars, most users will experience
frustrating image shake. Unless fixed to a tripod, image shake can
render high magnification binoculars useless. Canon's IS technology is
remarkably effective at eliminating this problem and is widely used by
the television industry with Canon's professional broadcast quality
video recording equipment. A special VAP (Vari-Angle Prism) corrective
IS system sits between the objective lens group and the porro prism on
each side of the binoculars. Within thousandths of a second of the
binoculars being moved from their optical axis by vibrations, a
detection system activates the IS mechanism. The VAP shape alters to
refract or 'bend' the light path by precisely the right amount, thus
fully compensating for the vibration. It is this essentially immediate
response that effectively suppresses image shake.
Super Spectra Coating
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 refelect away as much as 8% of the incidentail
light, significantly dimming the image. Canon's Super Spectra Coating
prevents that reflection.
What do the numbers mean?
15x50? 8x25? 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. 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.
