SLR PHOTOGRAPHY
To use an SLR camera and your spotting scope for photography, you will shoot
through the eyepiece while it is attached to the spotting scope. To prevent damage
to the spotting scope, eyepiece or camera make sure the eyepiece lock collar is
secure during each stage of the setup.
1. Remove the eyecup from the zoom/wide angle eyepiece. With the eyecup
down, rotate it counterclockwise to remove it from the eyepiece. This will
expose the threads under the eyecup (Fig. 12a).
Note: Simply pull the rubber eyecup off of the LER eyepiece to expose the threads.
2. Thread the included T-adapter step ring to the threads exposed on the
zoom/wide angle eyepiece in step one above (Fig. 12b).
Note: The T-adapter step ring is not necessary when using the LER eyepiece.
3. Thread an optional T-ring for your make and model of camera onto the
T-adapter step ring (Fig. 12c).
Note: When using the LER eyepiece, thread the T-ring directly to the threads of the eyepiece.
4. Attach your SLR camera body to the T-ring (Fig. 12d).
The TrailSeeker spotting scopes have fixed apertures and as a result fixed f/ratios.
To achieve the proper exposure for your photographs you need to set the shutter
speed accordingly. Most cameras offer through-the-lens metering which will let
you know if your picture is under or overexposed. Consult your camera manual for
specific information on metering, changing shutter speeds and other settings.
