Video capturing (optional)

Two kinds of observation heads, binocular or trinocular, are available for the SZM series.
They can all be connected to cameras via an adaptor, for digital and analogical photo and
video capturing.
before taking a picture or filming video, pull out the light path selector lever so the light will be
deflected into the photo tube. At the same time, no light will enter into the right eyepiece tube
for observation. Please refer to the adaptor and camera manuals for further details.
