Note:

In order to match the digital camera to the binocular optics the
MagnaCam 1025x2 uses a lens with a focal length of 103 mm.
This is equivalent to a 530 mm lens on a traditional 35mm camera.
Any camera with such a long focal length is susceptible to image
jitter which may cause images to appear blurred. To capture a
quality image, it is essential to keep the camera very stabile when
capturing an image.
