Released November 2018

ZUIKO QUALITY binoculars, leveraging Olympus' traditional optical technology, are now available as part of the PRO series.
This top-of-the-line model offers bright, clear vision, sharp focus, excellent close-up performance, and a waterproof and fog-resistant construction.
Delivers the ultimate performance for bird and nature observation. / [8X42PRO] 8X42PRO Released November 2018
Easy-to-use design for bird and nature observation. Not only are these binoculars ideal for spotting wild birds, but they also offer high performance for observing their movements and expressions. These binoculars are ideal for cultivating your observational skills and anticipating subject movements. Use them when photographing wild birds with an SLR camera to capture your target subject more reliably.
These binoculars offer a moderately large image and magnification that minimizes camera shake, allowing you to clearly observe the movements of wild birds and other animals.
The 42mm effective diameter of the objective lens makes them easy to see in dim light. You can see your subject even in dimly lit forests. Bright and Clear View: Full multi-coating, including cutting-edge coating technologies such as dielectric multilayer coating and ZERO coating, increases spectral transmittance, resulting in a bright and clear view. Full Multi-Coating: Multi-coating is applied to all lens surfaces that contact the air and the light-entering surface of the prism, significantly improving transmittance. Dielectric Multilayer Coating: The upper surface of the auxiliary prism is coated with a dielectric multilayer coating with a reflectance of over 99%, minimizing light loss from the prism. ZERO Coating: Equipped with ZERO coating, which provides excellent anti-reflection properties, significantly reducing ghosting and flare in backlit conditions. Spectral Transmittance of Up to 94% or More: Cutting-edge coating technology achieves high transmittance of up to 94% and flat characteristics in the wavelength range (450-650nm) that the human eye finds most comfortable. High Resolution, High Contrast, and Sharp View: ED lens elements and phase-correction coatings deliver high resolution, high contrast, and sharp viewing. ED lens suppresses chromatic aberration, suppressing color fringing. Phase correction coating suppresses phase shift in roof prisms. Phase correction coating corrects the phase shift of light rays inherent to roof prisms, improving resolution and contrast. Superior close-up performance for a wider range of subjects. A minimum focusing distance of 1.5m allows you to focus on nearby subjects, such as insects at your feet or flowers blooming on a tree. Waterproof and fog-resistant construction for durability in harsh environments. The waterproof construction prevents water from entering even when immersed in 1m of water for 5 minutes. Furthermore, the body is filled with nitrogen gas, ensuring the lens remains fog-free even when moved to locations with large temperature fluctuations. Safe for use in harsh environments with extreme weather and temperature changes. Water- and oil-repellent coating: The objective lens and eyepiece lenses are coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating. Water and dirt on the lens surface can be easily wiped off. Sophisticated and Simple Design: The sharpness characteristic of the OM-D SLR camera is expressed through the lines of the side of the camera. The slim, simple design eliminates unnecessary elements, creating a design that harmonizes with the OM-D series. Ergonomic Operation: Based on ergonomics, the binoculars were designed with meticulous attention to detail, focusing on the grip and ease of use. The exterior is made of a non-slip rubber material that fits comfortably in the hand. Functionality Designed for Ease of Use: With an 18mm long eye relief and adjustable eyepiece length, you can comfortably see the entire field of view with or without glasses. When viewing with glasses (eyepiece retracted) When viewing with naked eyes (eyepiece extended) Diopter correction ranges from -2 to +2D, making it easier to view even if there is a difference in vision between the right and left eyes. An integrated objective cap prevents loss. Expandable: The strap attachment section has been widened to accommodate a 12mm wide SLR camera strap. Enjoy combining it with optional shoulder straps such as the CSS-P113 and CSS-P118. ■ Specifications ■
