Setting for shooting
• Focusing
Set for single focusing. Focus first using the controls on the Fieldscope, then make fine
adjustments with the camera's AF function.
Set the camera's AF Area Mode to "Center-focus" instead of "Auto".
"Manual" can also be selected.
• Shooting mode
Set for "Auto" mode.
• Shooting
Use cable release. Depress the cable release gently.
• Camera zoom setting
When shooting with the zoom at the widest-angle setting, shade will appear in the four
corners of the image depending on the type of eyepiece in use, giving it a rounded
appearance. We recommend the use of maximum telephoto setting when MC or MC II Zoom
Eyepiece is used.
Notes for shooting
• Use solid tripod during super-telephoto shooting for steady images.
• Beware of camera shake as small vibrations at high magnification can ruin a photograph.
• With super-telephoto shooting, it may be difficult to obtain focus with the camera's AF
function. We recommend that you take a series of pictures of the same subject, to ensure you
capture the desired image.
