Note:
To match the digital camera to the binocular optics, the MagnaCam uses a lens with a focal length of 103mm. This is equivalent to a 530mm lens on a traditional 35mm camera. Any camera with such a long focal length is susceptible to image jitter due to movement of the person using it. This may cause the images to appear blurred. To capture the best images and video, it is essential to keep the binoculars very stable when capturing, or to use a tripod or monopod.
