CAMERA ADAPTER
(opt i o n al)
To use your Night Tiger 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 37mm and 52mm threads. If you need other sizes your
local camera store should be able to help.
• Remove the rubber eyecup from the Night Tiger
• Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on
your Video camera’s lens or your 35mm camera’s lens.
• Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.
• Place the camera adapter over the Night Tiger’s eye-
piece.
• Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the Night
Tiger’s eyepiece
• You may need to focus the 35mm camera or video
camera in combination with the Night Tiger in order to
get the sharpest possible image.
• We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the Night Tiger so that the scene
is at its sharpest. For best results you should disable the auto focus (if any) on either the
35mm camera or the video camera and manually focus the 35mm camera or the video
camera. Once the image is sharp, then simply adjust the Night Tiger’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 the phosphorous screen of the Night Tiger
that is only 2-3 inches away.
CLEANING THE EYEPIECE
You may need to clean the eyepiece of the Night Tiger from time to time in order to guarantee
top performance. When you receive your Night Tiger you should check for dust on the eye-
piece of the unit.
First you will need to remove the eyepiece. To do that you will need to initially loosen the 2
set screws that can be found on the base. Then unscrew the eyepiece counter-clockwise to
remove it.
NOTE:
You do not have to remove the set screws completely, they are very small and easy to
misplace.
CAUTION:
Use only Photographic lens cleaning tissue on these surfaces. Be careful not to
scratch or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to blow dust away, make
sure to avoid inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen propellant to exit the can,
which can cause serious problems with the glass and phosphor screen.
