Today we are going to talk about close focusing distance.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><strong>Close focusing distance is the minimal distance on which an image is observable.<\/strong> It&#8217;s important for close-up observations of butterflies, flowers&#8230; Most optical devices enlarge the image so that more details are visible.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The best central focusing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/binoculars.html\">binoculars<\/a> can be focused on distances <strong>as short as 1m.<\/strong> When observing objects that are closer than the close focusing distance, the object is <strong>out of focus<\/strong> and the image is in two circles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/binoculars\/compact-binoculars.html\">Compact binoculars<\/a> are especially good for close-up use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/night-vision-optics\/digital-night-vision-optics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button1\">Check out NV optics here<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/binoculars.html\">Binoculars<\/a> with individual focusing are really bad for close-up observation. Some can&#8217;t even focus images closer than 20 m.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/digital-night-vision-optics.html\">Digital night<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/thermal-imaging.html\">thermal vision<\/a> devices have different focusing distances. Some devices are <strong>in focus at all distances <\/strong>and on others, the<strong> focusing is controlled by knobs<\/strong>. A <strong>short focusing distance is especially important for thermal devices<\/strong> which can be used for things like construction, electrical engineering&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">It is also useful for hunting and observing animals that come really close by.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/thermal-imaging.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button1\">Check out thermal optics here<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">We would like to thank you for your time.

It represents the\u00a0<strong>nearest distance<\/strong>\u00a0where the viewing object can still be\u00a0<strong>in focus<\/strong>. With binoculars, an excellent viewing distance is from 1.5 m below. If you\u2019re not particularly interested in watching objects at a close range this is an irrelevant factor when choosing a new pair.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/9jx95-9506c9-pb?from=share&amp;skin=1&amp;share=1&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;download=0&amp;skin=1&amp;btn-skin=107\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Products mentioned:<\/strong><br \/>\nBinoculars: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/binoculars.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/binoculars.html<\/a><br \/>\nNV optics: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/digital-night-vision-optics.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/digital-night-vision-optics.html<\/a><br \/>\nThermal optics: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/thermal-imaging.html\">https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/thermal-imaging.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out binoculars here Welcome to Optics Trade debates.
