| [ 1 ] 3-4x Zoom Compact Digital
Camera (Without Filter Threads) |
 |
 |
 |
It is now possible to digiscope
with cameras without filter threads. The [ TSN-DA4 ] Universal Camera
Adapter utilizes the tripod mount on the digital camera for mounting and has
vertical and horizontal adjustment for perfect axis alignment.
The use of a wide angle type eyepiece is recommended as vignetting will not
occur (in most cases) through the entire zoom range of the digital camera.
A zoom eyepiece can also be used and will give a wide range of focal lengths but
vignetting will occur at the cameras wide angle. |

| [ 2 ] 3-4x Zoom Compact Digital
Camera (With Filter Threads) |
 |
 |
 |
For digital cameras with filter threads, the use of the
TSN-DA1 and an adapter ring is necessary to digiscope. The TSN-DA1
perfectly centers the camera lens and eyepiece so every time the adapter
is connected to the scope you are ready to photograph.
The use of a wide angle type eyepiece is recommended as vignetting will not
occur (in most cases) through the entire zoom range of the digital camera.
A zoom eyepiece can also be used and will give a wide range of focal lengths but
vignetting will occur at the cameras wide angle. For digital cameras with a
protruding lens (a lens that comes out when the camera is turned on), a
conversion lens adapter available from the camera manufacturer is necessary. |

The camera can be adapted as it is. |

A conversion lens adapter is necessary. |

| [ 3 ] 3-4x Zoom Digital Camera (Large Lens
Type) |
 |
 |
 |
| These type of digital cameras have very bright lenses
but because of the large diameter, vignetting occurs easily. Although it
is impossible to eliminate vignetting through the entire zoom range, the use of
Kowa's long eye-relief eyepieces (TSE-17HD/17HE) will minimize vignetting. |

| [ 4 ] High Power Zoom Digital Camera (7-12x) |
 |
 |
 |
With a regular eyepiece digiscoping with these types of
cameras is impossible but through the use of the Kowa TSN-VA1 / TSN-VA2 you can
digiscope with high power zoom digital cameras.
Vignetting will occur at the cameras wide angle, but in the middle of the zoom
range this will disappear. Since the TSN-VA1 / TSN-VA2 are adapters with
an integrated "super-long eye-relief lens", the use of a regular eyepiece is not
necessary. |
