*1 We do not recommend 24x/30x Wide MC in combination with ED50 series owing to vignetting. *2 We do not recommend connecting the FSA-L1 with the Fieldscope ED50/50 A because this combination may be physically imbalanced in actual use and could compromise product integrity.
Note:With super-telephoto shooting, we recommend that you use a large tripod and tripod head to ensure steady images. | | | |
| Fieldscope Digital SLR Camera Attachment FSA-L1 |
|
Allow the attachment of selected fieldscope or spotting scope to the F-Mount of Nikon SLR and DSLR bodies.
|
Transform your Fieldscope into an 1,200mm* or 1,500mm* super-telephoto lens for Nikon digital SLR cameras and take spectacular closeup images. * 35mm-format equivalent
- Allows use of the camera's Center-Weighted and Spot metering systems
- Allows use of the camera's Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure modes
- Attaches directly to the Fieldscope and the F mount on a Nikon D50, D70, D70s, D100, D2X, D2HS, D2H, D1, D1X or D1H digital SLR camera

About film SLR cameras Usable models: F6, F5, F100, FM10, FE10, F65, F55
With F80, FM3A, F75, user must determine the exposure; Nikon does not recommend using these models.
With any of the above models, slight vignetting may occur at the periphery of the image. |

Note :
- Because the optical system has different characteristics from ordinary interchangeable lenses, when the FSA-L1 and Fieldscope are used for shooting with a SLR camera, exposure may vary with the camera model. With a digital SLR camera, confirm the exposure indication in the external LCD and use exposure compensation if necessary.
- Camera's autofocusing mode cannot be used. Perform focusing using the Fieldscope focusing ring.
- We strongly recommend using an ED-type model, which employs ED glass to minimise chromatic aberration and keep images sharp.
We do not recommend connecting the FSA-L1 with the Fieldscope ED50/50 A because this combination may be physically imbalanced in actual use and could compromise product integrity.

Notes:
Usage
- When using a Fieldscope, the digital camera attachment is secured with a turn-and-slide eyepiece. Eyepieces that do not have a turn-and-slide eyecup cannot be used.
Photography
- When using the Fieldscope, a combination of the eyepiece with a 40x wide/50x wide MC or 60x wide/75x wide MC will result in extreme magnification. We recommend using a 24x wide/30x wide MC or 30x wide/38x wide MC instead.

Notes:
Usage
- You will need the specific digital attachment ring for the particular Nikon digital camera you are using, along with either the FSA (for Fieldscope) or SSA (for Spotting Scope) digital camera attachment
Photography
- Vignetting occurs on the wide-angle side with COOLPIX cameras; you should use them at the telescopic setting. (Unless you switch to the telescopic side, the vignetting will remain, so be sure to use the camera at the maximum telescopic setting.)
