infrA-reD illuminATion
Infra-red illuminators, or Ir illuminators, are common in night vision. the Ir light greatly
enhances the performance of the night Scout while remaining almost totally invisible to the
naked eye. the Ir illuminator on the night Scout is located on the side of the unit. to turn the
Ir on, push the Ir button and you will see an orange indicator light come on. It is important to
remember that the Ir illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source it
may loose its efficiency over a great distance.
noTe:
The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned OFF.

to use your night Scout with a 35mm camera or camcorder you will need the following:
1) If you plan to use a camcorder then your camcorder must have a maCro feature. most
modern camcorders today have a maCro feature built in.
2) If you plan to use a 35mm camera you will need a maCro lens. If you don’t have one we
advise that you contact your local camera store.
3) You may or may not need a Step-Up or Step-DoWn ring in order to adapt the camera
adapter to your lens.
NOTE: The camera adapter comes with 37-mm and 52-mm threads. If you need other sizes your
local camera store should be able to help.
• Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on your Video camera’s lens or your
35-mm camera’s lens.
• Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.
• Place the camera adapter over the Night Scout’s eyepiece.
• Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the Night Scout’s eyepiece
• You may need to focus the 35mm camera or video camera in combination with the Night
Scout in order to get the sharpest possible image.
• We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the Night Scout so that the scene
is at its sharpest. For the best results you should disable the auto focus (if any) on either the
35-mm camera or the video camera and manually focus the 35-mm camera or the video
camera. once the image is in sharp, then simply adjust the night Scout’s front lens to change
the focus.
• An important part to remember is that you are not taking a picture of an object that is far away
from you, but you are actually taking a picture of a phosphorous screen of the night Scout
that is only 2-3 inches away.
