=== Bird watching ===
[[Birdwatching]] is a very popular hobby among nature and animal lovers; a binocular is their most basic tool because most human eyes cannot resolve sufficient detail to fully appreciate and/or study small birds.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/what-does-20-20-vision-mean | title=What Does 20/20 Vision Mean? | date=28 January 2022 | access-date=19 June 2020 | archive-date=21 June 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621005530/https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/what-does-20-20-vision-mean | url-status=live }}</ref> To be able to view birds in flight well rapid moving objects acquiring capability and depth of field are important. Typically, binoculars with a magnification of 8× to 10× are used, though many manufacturers produce models with 7× magnification for a wider field of view and increased depth of field. The other main consideration for birdwatching binoculars is the size of the objective that collects light. A larger (e.g. 40–45mm) objective works better in low light and for seeing into foliage, but also makes for a heavier binocular than a 30–35mm objective. Weight may not seem a primary consideration when first hefting a pair of binoculars, but birdwatching involves a lot of holding up the binoculars while standing in one place. Careful shopping is advised by the birdwatching community.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.audubon.org/news/how-choose-your-binoculars | title=How to Choose Your Binoculars | date=18 April 2016 | access-date=19 June 2020 | archive-date=21 June 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621220502/https://www.audubon.org/news/how-choose-your-binoculars | url-status=live }}</ref>
