How to Read Field of View e.g.100-60 ft/1000 yards

"Long Field of View: 100-60 ft/1000 yards" describes the range of the field of view (FOV) of a spotting scope at different magnifications. Here's what it means:

• Long Field of View: This term indicates that the spotting scope offers a wide view of the area being observed, which is especially useful for tracking moving subjects or scanning large areas.
• 100-60 ft/1000 yards: This range means that when you look through the spotting scope at a distance of 1000 yards (about 914 meters), the width of the area you can see will range from 100 feet to 60 feet, depending on the magnification setting.
• 100 feet represents the field of view at the lowest magnification.
• 60 feet represents the field of view at the highest magnification.

The higher the magnification you adjust it for, the lower the field of view. For example, a Spotting Scope 20-60x60 means:

• At 20x magnification, you'll be able to see a field of view (FOV) of 100 feet at 1000 yards.
• At 60x magnification, the FOV decreases to 60 feet at 1000 yards.

In summary, this specification tells you how wide an area you can see at different magnifications when viewing an object 1000 yards away. The wider the field of view, the easier it is to locate and follow objects within that area.
