Digital Camera Brackets (for COOLPIX Series)

Each bracket enables you to connect a Nikon Fieldscope/Spotting Scope to the specified COOLPIX digital cameras.

Common features

·	Easy attachment to camera Mount by fastening screw in the camera's tripod socket. (The FSB-6 is screwed into the camera's converter lens attachment.)

Digiscoping System Diagram

Composite F-number and composite focal length in combination with COOLPIX digital camera

Calculation of composite focal length
Composite focal length = magnification of eyepiece x 35mm equivalent focal length of COOLPIX digital camera

Calculation of composite F-number (theoretical value)
Composite F-number = magnification of eyepiece x focal length of COOLPIX digital camera ÷ objective diameter of Fieldscope or Spotting Scope

Note:
• Although the theoretical F-number obtained using the above calculation exceeds the cameras F-number, the actual F-number will not.
• We recommend that you use a wide-angle setting for super-telephoto shooting when using a digital compact camera with a Fieldscope or Spotting Scope. Also, because it may be difficult to obtain a focus when using the cameras AF function with super-telephoto shooting, we recommend that you take a series of pictures of the same subject.
