Mounting and dismounting Mounting Insert the FSA-L2 into the EDG Fieldscope aligning the mounting/dismounting indexes of both sides.

First loosen the clamp screw. Then align the two camera position indexes, and tighten up the clamp screw to make the camera position horizontal. Attach the camera to the FSA-L2, alignng the camera mounting/dismounting indexes. Screw in the FSA-L2 in the direction of the arrow until you hear a click. Shooting precautions

Depending on the shooting conditions, vignetting may occur. Vignetting may not completely disappear.

Focus using the focusing ring on the Fieldscope while viewing the camera's nder.

With high-magnication shooting, the focal depth is low. Be sure to focus carefully.

With high-magnication shooting, you can prevent vibrations by using a self-timer or a remote controller.

Camera position may become misaligned during camera operation. Before releasing the shutter, adjust the camera if necessary.

Do not use ash when shooting.

*Please refer to the complete image showing correct mounting on page 2. Dismounting Rotate the body in the direction of the arrow, and remove the FSA-L2. Slide the mounting/dismounting lever in the direction of the arrow, and keep it in position. Remove the camera by pressing the lens mounting/dismounting button.

• Please refer to the Nikon website for the latest information of compatible cameras and Fieldscopes Compatible cameras: D4 series, D3 series, D2 series, Df, D810 series, D800 series, D750, D700, D610, D600, D300 series, D200, D100, D7200, D7100, D7000, D90, D80, D70 series, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3300, D3200, D3100, D3000, D60, D50, D40 series (As of May, 2015)

When used with a Nikon FX-format digital SLR camera, vignetting occurs at focal lengths between 500mm and 750mm with EDG Fieldscope 85 series and between 400mm and 600mm with EDG Fieldscope 65 series. Compatible Fieldscopes: EDG Fieldscope 85 VR/85-A VR EDG Fieldscope 85/85-A EDG Fieldscope 65/65-A Shooting modes: A (Aperture-Priority Auto) mode or M (Manual) mode

Appropriate aperture using aperture-priority auto mode with a lm camera has not been veried. Exposure metering: Center-weighted metering

Matrix metering and spot metering cannot be used.

When you move away from the nder during shooting, prevent light entering with a shield such as an eyepiece cap.

Because the optical system has dierent characteristics from interchangeable camera lenses, when the FSA-L2 and a Fieldscope are used for shooting with a digital SLR camera, exposure may vary with the camera model. Use exposure compensation if necessary. Exposure compensation may be necessary when used at wide-angle zoom setting.

The actual f-number and the focal length vary depending on the actual zoom setting, while the camera display and image data show the constant f-number (13) and focal length (800mm). Focus: Manual focus using the focusing ring on the Fieldscope body.

"Autofocus" and "Manual focus with electronic rangender" function cannot be used.

When a lens is used at a telephoto setting, the viewnder image becomes darker because of the changes in F-number. Please take into consideration that in this situation it may be dicult to focus. Shutter release: To reduce vibration caused by shutter release, please use the following mode/items: Exposure delay mode, remote cord, self-timer, remote control, Modulite Remote Control Set ML-3, etc.

When using a tripod, please use a sturdy and stable model.13
