Using The Image Stabilizer - Canon 10x42L IS WP Instructions Manual

Using the Image Stabilizer

While you look through the binoculars, the image may be shaking and
difficult to see since your hands are holding the binoculars. In such a
case, the Image Stabilizer can help steady the image.
There are two ways to use the Image Stabilizer. You can turn on the
Image Stabilizer as long as you hold down the Image Stabilizer button
and or you can turn on the Image Stabilizer for 5 minutes.
The Image Stabilizer may not be able to compensate for severe shaking.

they are hanging from the strap, the Image Stabilizer will turn off to
conserve power. To use the binoculars in downward direction, keep
pressing the Image Stabilizer switch.

noise and vibration. The image stabilization is not affected by this.
