SLR Photography To use an SLR camera and your spotting scope for photography, you will shoot through the zoom 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 eyepiece. With the eyecup down, rotate it counterclockwise to remove it from the eyepiece. This will expose the threads under the eyecup (Fig. 10a). 2. Thread the included T-adapter ring to the threads exposed on the eyepiece in step one above (Fig. 10b). 3. Thread an optional T-ring for your make and model of camera onto the T-adapter ring (Fig. 10c) 4. Attach your SLR camera body to the T-ring (Fig. 10d). The Regal M2 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. Fig. 10a Fig. 10b Fig. 10c Fig. 10d 7
