Nikon introduces StabilEyes 12x32
-- compact, lightweight VR (Vibration Reduction) binoculars

Development background

The higher your binoculars' magnification, the more your images are affected by hand-shake, and the more difficult it becomes to observe objects.
At Nikon, we've gone all-out to meet requests from our customers for high-magnification binoculars that enable them to view birds and sporting events. Our Nikon StabilEyes 14x40 binoculars, with vibration reduction, have been well-received since their release in March, 2002.
Our new compact and lightweight StabilEyes 12x32 binoculars are general-use VR binoculars that employ the VR function with truly impressive response and stability. A VR PAUSE button puts the vibration reduction function on pause, doing away with the annoying image shake that occurs when you chase a target object while looking through the binoculars. To increase light penetration and ensure a brighter, clearer view, all lenses are multilayer coated and the prism offers phase-correction-coating. The body has been filled with nitrogen gas
and sealed with O-rings to provide secure waterproofing and make it safe for use in the rain. StabilEyes 12x32 binoculars are an ideal choice when you require a stable, clear view for birdwatching, sporting events and countless other applications.
