CAMERA ADAPTER

To use your Night Spirit XT with a 35 mm camera or camcorder you will
need the following:
1. If you plan to use a camcorder then your camcorder must have a
MACRO feature. Most modern camcorders today have a MACRO fea-
ture built-in.
2. If you plan to use a 35mm camera, you will need a MACRO lens. If you
don't have one, we advise that you contact your local camera store.
3. You may or may not need a STEP-UP or STEP-DOWN ring in order to
adapt the camera adapter to your lens. NOTE: The camera adapter comes with 37 mm and
52 mm threads. If you need other sizes your local camera store should be able to help.
Remove the rubber eyecup from the Night Spirit XT
Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on your Video camera's lens or your 35mm
camera's lens.
Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.
Place the camera adapter over the Night Spirit XT's eyepiece.
Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the Night Spirit XT's eyepiece
You may need to focus the 35 mm camera or video camera in combination with the Night Spirit
XT in order to get the sharpest possible image.
We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the Night Spirit XT so that the scene
is at its sharpest. For best results you should disable the auto focus (if any) on either the 35mm
camera or the video camera and manually focus the 35mm camera or the video camera. Once
the image is sharp, then simply adjust the Night Spirit XT's front lens to change focus.
* An important part to remember is that you are not taking a picture of an object that is far away
from you, but you are actually taking a picture of a phosphorous screen of the Night Spirit XT that
is only 2-3 inches away.

STORAGE AND CARE

• If the device will not be in use for extended period of time (more than 10 days) remove the
battery.
• Avoid touching of lenses. If fingerprints or traces of dirt or dust appear, clean their surface
with a Photographic lens cleaning tissue.
• Keep lens cap/daylight filter on when not in use.
• The Night Spirit XT is not harmful to the user or the environment.
• Do not disassemble except to clean the front lens and eyepiece: it will void your warranty.
• Evaluate the scope functionality by looking through it in a lit environment with the daylight
filter lens cap on. Never use in daylight without the daylight filter lens cap on.
• Never point the Night Spirit XT at a bright light source.
• Adverse atmospheric conditions such as fog, smog, or haze and a lack of ambient light
(moon or starlight) may diminish the effective viewing distance.
• If you use the rubber eyecaps for a long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If
you develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
