When using a Nikon FX-format camera, vignetting occurs with focal length display between

500mm and 750mm.

Shooting modes: A (Aperture-Priority Auto)

mode or M (Manual)

mode

・

Appropriate aperture using aperture-priority auto mode with lm camera has not

been veried.

Exposure metering: Center-weighted metering

・

Matrix metering and spot metering cannot be used.

・

When you move away from the nder during the shooting, prevent light entering with a shield

such as an eyepiece cap.

・

Because the optical system has dierent characteristics from ordinary interchangeable

lenses, when the FSA-L2 and a Fieldscope are used for shooting with a digital SLR camera,

exposure may vary with the camera model. Use exposure compensation if necessary.

Exposure compensation may be necessary when used at wide setting.

・

Aperture and focal length vary depending on the actual zoom setting, however, the aperture

and focal length of the camera itself are indicated at 13 and 800.

Focus: Manual focus using the focusing ring on the Fieldscope body.

・

"Autofocus" and "Manual focus with electronic rangender" function cannot be used.

・

When a lens is used at a telephoto setting, the viewnder image becomes darker because of

the changes in F-number. Please take into consideration that in this situation it may be

dicult to focus.

Zoom: Operate using the zoom ring. Rotate clockwise for telephoto side setting, and rotate counterclockwise

for wide setting.

Shutter release: To reduce vibration caused by shutter release, please use the following mode/items:

Exposure delay mode, remote cord, self-timer, remote control, Modulite Remote Control Set ML-3, etc.

・

When using a tripod, please use a sturdy and stable model.

Fixing to a tripod: It is important to take the anterior/posterior balance into consideration when attaching a tripod.

・

Keep a well-balanced position by using the three tripod screw sockets located on the EDG

Fieldscope body.
