MEASURING BINOCULAR MAGNIFICATION USING A DIGITAL CAMERA

This is my first video dubbed with audio. In this little experiment I am using my Sony DSC P72 Digital camera in 640 VGA MPEG video mode to capture scenes of a tractor tire with and without the aid of my Leupold 7x Binoculars.

Once the video was captured I extracted one frame of the unmagnified tractor tire and one frame of the magnified tractor tire.

I pasted each snapshot into visio alongside a calibrated ruler.

It looks like these Leupold Binocs really are 7 power.

Someone takes the time to show you what he has learned and some people ridicule him for his knowledge... This was a very useful tutorial thanks.
