Shooting precautions
•
Use a sturdy tripod to minimize shaking when taking photos.
•
Vignetting or shadows may result depending on relevant conditions, such as the camera model and the type of eyepiece to
be attached or the attaching position or zoom position of the camera.
•
Vignetting or shadows may not be perfectly eliminated. Carefully make optimum position settings in order to minimize
vignetting and shadows.
•
If you cannot focus on the subject using the AF function, lock the AF and set the focus again using the focus ring of the
fieldscope while viewing the LCD monitor or viewfinder of the camera.
•
A shallow depth of field will result because of high-magnification shooting. Pay sufficient attention to focusing.
•
If you notice external light on the LCD monitor or image (picture), use the supplied light shielding rubber sheet to prevent
light entering between the mount and lens of the camera. If light still enters, cover the whole equipment with a shield such
as a black cloth.
•
The camera position may become misaligned during camera operation. Before releasing the shutter, confirm the existence
of vignetting and shadows and adjust the camera if necessary.
•
Do not use the flash when shooting.
•
When shooting, select the vibration reduction function OFF from the Nikon 1 menu.
•
Noise in the form of lines may appear in pictures depending on the shooting condition.
•
When replacing the batteries or recording media, the camera may or may not need to be removed from the connected
equipment depending on the camera. In any case, readjustments to the mounting position are necessary.
