The Canon 18x50 IS image stabilised binoculars pair high magnification with optical shake correction for distant wildlife and astronomical observing.
High optical magnification makes distant details larger in the view.
The objective diameter sets the size of the light-gathering lenses.
The 3.7° real field spans 65 m at a distance of one kilometre.
Allow for the weight during longer hand-held sessions.
Gyros detect movement and the Vari-Angle Prism system adjusts the optical path to reduce hand shake. The correction range is ±0.7°.
Severe shaking can exceed the stabiliser’s correction ability.

Ultra-low Dispersion glass helps reduce chromatic aberration, the colour fringing that can appear around high-contrast edges.
Two field-flattener lenses reduce field curvature to help maintain sharpness towards the edge of the view.
Multicoating reduces unwanted reflections to help preserve image contrast and colour.
Continuous IS figures under Canon’s test conditions. Actual life varies with use and conditions. Lithium AA batteries are recommended for cold-weather use.
Suitable for rain, including heavy rain, but not underwater use. Wipe the body dry before opening the battery compartment.
The 15 mm eye relief provides space between your eyes and the eyepieces. Fold back the rubber eyecups when wearing glasses.
The minimum focus distance is approximately 6 m. Allow for this when viewing nearby birds or wildlife.
The body has a standard 1/4 inch tripod socket for supported observing. The 58 mm front filter thread accepts suitably sized filters. Tripod and filters are optional.
