A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That's to find it for the others to see. Look through binoculars, see what it is, then look directly to confirm direction and point at it.
No it's a Hollywood thing so they can have a full facial expression for finding the thing they looked for on camera. They need the eyes on camera.
As soon as you find something with binoculars, you won't take your eyes off of it. Ever been in the savanna finding a lion? Ever been birdwatching and finding this special bird? Looking away or lowering the binoculars means you lost it. Especially when you want to show others, you point and look while keeping your eyes through the binoculars on target.
It depends on whether it’s stationary or not. Of course, professionals would do what you’re advising, but that’s basically what I do now with binoculars when hiking or on a tourist coin operated binocular machine with someone to show them cool stationary landscape features.
Guess I've been doing it wrong then.
