The much-anticipated 10x42 L IS WP is the first waterproof binocular to incorporate Canon′s
exclusive Image Stabilizer technology for steady, shake-free viewing. The high quality L series optics,
featuring 2 Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens elements (on each side), deliver excellent correction for
chromatic aberration. With a large lens diameter and a 4.2mm exit pupil diameter, this binocular
provides an exceptionally bright view, even in low-light conditions. The 10x42 L IS WP binocular offers
both the desired brightness and excellent waterproof capabilities, making it ideal for a host of
activities including marine use, stargazing and wildlife observation - just to name a few.

Professional power
The 10x42L IS WP binoculars are the first from Canon to be engraved with the hallowed red L-series
ring: a mark until now reserved for Canon′s finest professional photographic lenses; the pinnacle
of Canon′s 60 year heritage in precision optics design and manufacture.
Raising optical performance standards, the binoculars feature 2 Ultra-low Dispersion glass (UD) lens
elements on each side. Developed by Canon, these elements are effective in eliminating chromatic
aberration - the rainbow-like distortion that affects lesser quality binoculars. The result is super
bright, high contrast, 10x magnification viewing clarity.
Stay steady
To suppress vibrations caused by viewing hand-held, on moving vehicles or boats, the 10x42L IS WP
binoculars include Canon′s Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer (IS). Tiny gyros detect the
slightest movements, while a microprocessor controls a special prism to correct the refraction angle of
incoming light.
All-weather
Designed to survive the toughest outdoor conditions, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars are fully waterproof.
The design incorporates a distinctive easy-grip for wet conditions, and a robust rubber coating to
withstand all your adventures.
Anti-fog
To prevent fogging on internal lens elements caused by the ingress of moisture, all exterior surfaces
are treated with a special metallic coating. This works in concert with special O-rings and use of
waterproof adhesives on all external contact points to prevent water molecules permeating the outside
casing.
Precision optics
All the lens element surfaces are treated with Canon′s Super Spectra coatings. These ensure
vivid high contrast images with accurate colour balance by eliminating unwanted internal reflections
that cause ′ghosting′ (secondary images) and ′flare′ (low contrast, washed out
images). The exceptionally large 4.2mm exit pupil allows a bright field of view in low light
conditions.
Comfortable
Every aspect of the 10x42L IS WP binoculars is designed around viewing comfort. A wide 65° angle
of view gets plenty of horizon into view, while a 16mm Long Eye Relief minimises vignetting (or the
′tunnel effect′) that can affect prescription glasses wearers. A correction lock prevents
unintentional dioptric correction errors, and the extending eye-cups can be rotated for customised
fitting.
