"When you press that button ..."
Why is there a button ? Why not just image stabilize at all times ?
I think perhaps it must be energetically expensive and therefore eats the batteries ?
If I am correct, then a follow-up that I didn't see answered in the OP: how long does the image stay stabilized after you press the button ? Can you turn it off or does it time out ?
- ComputerGuru 4y agoI understood it needs to remain pressed.
- i_am_proteus 4y agoImage stabilization does indeed eat batteries.
- _caw 4y agoYou are correct, it eats battery; it lasts about 8 hours or so on li-ion. If you look down the lens and move it around, you can really see the mechanical movement in action. It has two operating modes. 1, it stays on as long as the button is depressed. This is good for quick looks. 2, you press it once and it stays on until either (a) 5 minutes pass, or (b) you press it again, or (c) you put the binoculars down (it knows when they are vertical, like hanging around your neck.)
