2. Initial setup
Before connecting everything together, set up your telescope and
eyepiece on a tripod as you would for viewing, making sure your chosen
eyepiece is screwed firmly into position. Focus on an object in the
normal way until the image being viewed comes into sharp focus. Twisttype eyecups should be in the ‘down’ position and fold down rubber
eyecups should be removed from the eyepiece.
3. Preparing the camera and lens mount
• Loosen the locking ring on the lens mount and slide the mount over
the lens housing on the camera until it fits flush against the front of
the camera body. [Fig. 1]
• Holding the camera and locking ring section of the lens mount in
one hand, turn the main tube of the lens mount clockwise until the
mount is securely tightened. [Fig. 2]
4. Preparing and fitting your chosen adapter
• Assemble the component parts of your chosen adapter as illustrated
on previous page. [Fig. 6]
• Screw the adapter onto the camera lens mount. [Fig. 3]
• The camera is now ready to attach to the viewing eyepiece. [Fig. 4]
5. Fitting the combined assembly to the telescope eyepiece [Fig. 5]
• Place assembly over the eyepiece and push down until the internal
wall of the adapter comes into contact with the end of the eyepiece.
[a]
• Hold the main section of the adapter secure and turn the locking
ring anti-clockwise until tight making sure the camera remains
horizontal. [b]
• Turn the camera ON, making sure the flash is switched off
before
taking photographs. For additional guidance on how to operate the
NV100HD, please read the instructions supplied with the camera.
Tips for taking pictures
• The NV100HD has no conventional viewfinder so images are
composed using the LCD monitor. When the camera is turned on the
LCD monitor will show a single rounded picture of the image you
originally set your scope and eyepiece to. Once this single rounded
picture is obtained you can adjust the zoom function to eliminate any
vignetting and make any fine focus adjustments using the telescope.
• Set shooting mode to either P or M giving you access to the majority
of manual functions including; Shooting mode (single, high speed
and Mcapture), Metering, Flash ON/OFF, ISO settings and Exposure
Compensation.
