How close can these focus?

They will focus fairly well, but will not do what I would consider 'zoom in' on an object. They acquire objects well, but if you are looking for real close up looks, then you will have to go with a 7x50 or even 10x50, and the additional cost associated with that, upwards of $500. As is, these are very nice compact binos that do a good job. I use them on the water and they pick out markers well and fit nicely in your jacket pocket

I agree with the two previous responders. Good product for the money--but they do not focus on far away objects/animals (things get fuzzy).

Close focus is 25 feet, a little fuzzy at 20 ft. I use mine to spot bullet holes in a target when shooting with iron sights at 50 yards. Works great!

I actually set my projector about 8 feet from the screen that I have to do power point presentations on. I don't think that you will have a problem focusing from a shorter distance.

you really have to be very close to your targets, so i really don't know how close you can get. sorry i could not be of any help to you

That is difficult. I have not used mine too much yet. Try moving the camera. The depth of field is very small when using these. Practice will work for both of us.

I've not used them from much more than 30' away. I'm pretty sure you can't get much farther away than that. And that's straight on from the lens. From an angle it's even less

You should be able to do this, but why would you want to? Focusing would be difficult and it will drastically reduce the amount of light getting through the lenses. Then there is the increased motion factor.

You can aim them a little bit. i used them in a glass cabinet. The main thing I gained when aiming is that they don't shine out the front of the cabinet into your eye so much. I would say they are more like a 120 degree arc.

I am not sure, but I wish they did have a wider view. However, after having my vision corrected to mono vision (one eye for long distance/one for reading) these actually can focus to the degree that I can see clearly though both eyes.

To be more thorough, I stepped about 10 feet away from my television and tried to use them and they actually hurt my eyes. I would say you might want to be more than 20-30 feet away. And that's just a guess. I think they are made for people who are sitting pretty far back.

You'd just have to know what M# is for 10ft, and what M99 minimum distance is, so that anything beyond that distance will be in focus. Trial, error and practice.

YES, Minimum Focusing Distance: 1yds. YES, IF YOU CAN USE IT WITH GLASSES.YES, YOU CAN USE IT WITHOUT GLASSES.

I've used them at a baseball game and they worked very well. They are a fixed focal length so you cannot zoom so if you are sitting too close they might be too powerful.

According to the information with the lens, the minimum focusing distance is 0.39 m or 15.4".

Yes it can be focused but don't know to what degree. I never tried to focus on anything that close. Great little camera tho

My dad uses them to watch our wide screen TV that is 11FT away. As he has Macular Degeneration. He can't read the Text, but he can see the images very clearly, and the whole screen. He loves them as there is no focus control to mess with.

The minimum focus distance is 0.15m. At that distance the magnification should be at least 1:1.
