Monitor
The foldout OLED monitor is located on the left hand side of the PhotoScope.
Fold out the monitor by 90° then turn the monitor to the appropriate position.
The monitor can be turned up to 90° from the vertical position.
Tripod
The use of a good tripod is essential in order to minimise shaking.
Zeiss provides tripods that have been optimised specifically for use with the PhotoScope.
Tripod adapter plates with
1
/
4
˝ and
3
/
8
˝ connecting threads may be used on the PhotoScope.
Unscrew the
1
/
4
˝ thread insert when using
3
/
8
˝ adapter plates.
Extendable sunshade
The extendable sunshade keeps disruptive sunlight off of the lens which can result in
reflections and stray light. The locating tool (Fig. 1/1) on the aperture facilitates easier
object sighting.
Note:
If the PhotoScope is very cold when switched on, the image on the monitor will initially
appear slightly darker. Normal brightness is recovered after a short period.
