Excellent Performance, On the Go
--------------------------------
Canon's 10x30 IS II are lightweight and compact, perfect for
bringing along on a wide range of activities: hiking, going to
the theatre, sports events, concerts and more. But don't let
their compact size deceive, as they incorporate a sophisticated
Image Stabilization (IS) system, Canon optics and improved
electronics for efficient, brilliant performance no matter the
user, no matter the application.
Improved Technology for Stunning Performance
--------------------------------------------
To maintain stable images at high magnification, without the need
for a tripod, the 10x30 IS II feature Canon's Image Stabilization
(IS) technology for performance on par with Canon's EF series of
lenses. Vari-Angle prisms are placed between the front lens and
the main prism. When the binoculars' gyro sensors detect
movement, vertical or horizontal, they direct these prisms to
compensate and correct for external shaking for smoother panning.
A high performance microcomputer with advanced algorithms not
only enhances IS operation, it helps provide shorter startup
times and more efficient energy consumption. This means a
comfortable, stable view that can be easy to maintain, whether
standing on a ain tracking a bird in flight, looking out the
window of a moving vehicle or watching the pitcher wind up to
throw a strike.
High Magnification, Compact Size
--------------------------------
Canon's 10x30 IS II feature a refined optical system designed to
provide a 10x angle of view with remarkably compact optics. With
an objective lens effective diameter of 30mm/1.18 in., the 10x30
IS II offer a great balance between brightness and portability.
The Perfect Combination of Compact, Efficient Binocular Design
--------------------------------------------------------------
Canon's 10x30 IS II use a Porro II Prism design. Because both the
front lens and the eyepiece use convex-shaped glass, the
binoculars' design necessitates a prism system between the front
objective lens and the eyepiece to flip the otherwise inverted
image that would appear. Porro type prisms are a perfect fit for
the 10x30 IS II because they deliver clear, bright images at high
magnification with excellent sharpness and minimal light falloff.
A Beautiful, Wide Field of View
-------------------------------
The 10x30 IS II feature doublet field-flattener lenses in the
eyepieces. Doublet lenses correct curvature of field, the image
quality degradation typical at the edges of the image frame.
Thanks to the doublet field-flattener the 10x30 IS II can display
a sharp, even view, corner to corner.
Longer Operation Without Compromise
-----------------------------------
With advanced power-saving electronics, Canon's 10x30 IS II
feature a significant energy improvement over previous models
when using the Image Stabilizer (IS) function. For example, when
using AA alkaline batteries, the 10x30 IS II's IS system works
for up to 9 hours. The 10x30 IS II are compatible with
nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) batteries as well.
More Comfortable, for Longer Periods of Use
-------------------------------------------
In binoculars, the distance from the eyepoint where the image can
be seen without obstruction is known as eye . When using
binoculars, especially for extended periods of time, more eye
can make for a more comfortable experience over a longer
span of time. The 10x30 IS II have long eye , providing a
generous field of view and making the binoculars more comfortable
to look through, especially when wearing glasses.
New, Discreet Design
--------------------
The 10x30 IS II have an improved external design with a matte
front cover, plus an overall anti-reflective design. This is
especially helpful for watching birds and wildlife, when
remaining inconspicuous is a priority. A rubberized coating on
the focus adjustment ring adds improved control.
Trustworthy, Excellent Optics
-----------------------------
As with all of Canon's EF lenses, Canon's 10x30 IS II are
manufactured with lead-free glass.
