10-EN

• The lens of some video camera recorders moves back and forth when the focus is

being adjusted. In this case, leave enough space between the eyecup of the

telescope and the lens of the video camera recorder. Even if light gets into the lens,

it does not affect recording.

Preparing

Using the built-in hood

Extend the built-in hood as shown in the illustration below.

Using the hood prevents damage to the lens and eliminates the diffused reflections in

case of backlighting.

Now you are ready to use the unit.
