Please is the button like a switch that you press just once and the IS activates, or do you have to keep pressing the button down (press and hold)?

Press and hold and everything is steady. Most of the time I find the image stable enough without pressing the button but if you ned to see detail then press and hold. I find these binoculars are excellent but heavier than ones without IS.

Can these be used at night ? Can a microphone be attached?

They can be used at night for night sky objects as this is one of the things I use them for, i.e stargazing. However, they are not night vision binos as used by paramilitary etc. Not sure how you would attach a mike, sticky tape but that might ruin the bios.

They only come with caps on the eye lens covers. Which cap should I get for the output lenses?

I have used them for over two years birding with no caps and they are still in great condition.

do these binoculars have a full canon warranty. Can they be taken to a canon shop if found faulty

I would assume they do. I would certainly take them to Canon if they were faulty as i have done with camera purchased from Amazon, no problem as long as you keep the paperwork and date of purchase. However apart from accidentally damaging them i doubt you would need to, they are very robust and well made. Have travelled with them quite a bit and even dropped them without any issues. They are excellent, quite the best i have ever owned.
