Bring the World to Your Eyes.

Built to the world’s most exacting standards.

No one knows more about optics than Canon. So in creating the binocular line, Canon drew on its

vast optical expertise to incorporate the advanced technologies found in their cameras and lenses,

maximizing clarity and enhancing performance. That’s why Canon offers you features like highly

sophisticated engineering, superior lenses and Image Stabilizer technology.

Each model has been meticulously engineered for comfort and convenience in real world conditions.

Since they are designed to be easy to hold and operate, the lineup features unsurpassed ergonomics,

and many models are equipped with special slip-free grips. Available in a full range of sizes and

magnifications, there’s a Canon binocular for every need, so whether you are whale watching or

following a horse race, Canon binoculars let you view your subject with unrivalled precision and comfort.

Canon’s remarkable Image Stabilizer Technology.Canon. A passion for perfection.

The legendary L Lens.

The bright red line engraved on the lens barrel is the signature of the Canon L Lens. L-series Lenses are on a level above the rest, possessing groundbreaking image performance, outstanding operability and resistance to weather and aging. Canon’s L Lenses are well known by professional photographers around the world for their innovative optical design, exceptional quality and brilliant clarity. Canon has equipped its new top-of-the-line model, the 10x42L IS WP, with extraordinary L-series technology. Manufactured to provide superior image quality throughout the entire viewing area, two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements on each side give you a bolder, brighter view than can be achieved with conventional optics found in ordinary binoculars. With them, you’ll see more of your subject, more clearly.

The genius is in the details.

Each Canon binocular has been engineered to deliver performance that will impress. The state-of-the-art optical technology from Canon’s world-renowned EF Lens series has been carefully adapted especially for use in several Canon binocular models, offering unparalleled resolution. Also Super Spectra Coating increases image contrast and reduces lens flare and ghosting in many Canon binoculars. In addition, Canon uses Aspherical elements in several of its designs to assure sharper focus while dramatically cutting distortion. Technologies like these enable Canon binoculars to perform at an extraordinarily high standard.

Minimize shaking, maximize viewing.

Shaking occurs naturally when you hold binoculars for an

extended period of time. Wind, muscle fatigue and

even excitement can contribute to “binocular

shake.” The more powerful the binoculars, the

more pronounced the shake appears. It’s tiring

on your eyes, it’s distracting, and it makes

getting a good, sharp focus simply impossible.

To solve this common problem, many Canon

binoculars are equipped with Image

Stabilizer (IS) technologies. Originally

developed for Canon’s high

performance video camcorder family,

these IS technologies have been

brilliantly adapted specifically for

Canon’s binocular line.

Focus and follow.

It isn’t always convenient to use a tripod — especially if you or your subject is moving. With Canon’s IS binocular models there’s no need for additional equipment. For binoculars with magnification powers of 10x, 12x, 15x and 18x, Canon offers an Image Stabilizer system utilizing a Vari-Angle Prism (VAP). This system has two sensors — one vertical and another horizontal — that detect motion as well as a microprocessor that adjusts the Vari-Angle Prism on each side, in a bellows-type fashion, according to the amount of binocular shake detected. This provides instant adjustment of the refraction angle to compensate for motion. So what you see through the lenses is absolutely steady — even when you’re not.
