The Porro prism design delivers a wide field of view and rich depth of field, enhancing the 3D visual effect. Super Spectra Coating ensures sharp, contrast-rich images with accurate color across the spectrum. Lightweight and easy to handle, they allow for close-range observations and include a choice of Normal or Powered IS Modes for optimal performance.

Features

Lens Shift Image Stabilization

  • Choice of Normal or Powered IS Modes
  • Traditional Porro Prism
  • Broadband Super Spectra Coating System

Building on the success of their larger IS binoculars and borrowing the Lens Shift Image Stabilization from their EF lenses, Canon's 10x20 IS Image Stabilized Binocular is a powerful, versatile, and compact optic that compensates for hand-shake to make it ideal for a long day of bird-watching, nature-watching, or enjoying your favorite sporting event. The Lens Shift Image Stabilization cancels possible shaking made by movement and vibration by incorporating a continually adjusting vibration gyro mechanism that moves the IS lens vertically and horizontally. With the choice of either Normal or Powered IS options, you can choose the right mode for the situation to deliver the best performance.

Optical Features

Beyond the image stabilization performance are optical features that improve image overall image quality. This begins with Canon's antireflection Super Spectra Coating system to reduce light loss and improve image contrast across the entire visual spectrum. Next, they employ a Porro prism optical path that provides a rich depth of field to enable users to better judge distance between objects while delivering a wider field of view versus similar roof prism models. A field-flattener corrects spherical aberration for distortion-free views, especially at the edges. The binocular runs on one included CR123 battery. Designed for portability and ease-of-use, it measures in with a compact length of well under six inches and weighs less than a pound.
