Opticron Smartphone Photoadapter - Manual (Page 3)

1. Getting Started
Before fitting your adapter ensure the rotating retractable eyecup is in
the down position and if using a zoom eyepiece, the magnification is
set to minimum.
2. Fitting
Slide phone into the adapter and then push the adapter over the
eyepiece.
To ensure that your phone does not slip out of the adapter we
recommend the phone is mounted in either of the following ways.
Tips for Taking Pictures
Once the adapter is installed, activate the phone camera according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. On most phones, a fully automatic
mode will be the most effective. Use the zoom function on the phone
to reduce the amount of vignetting (the black area around the image)
before taking the photo.
Some smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone, will allow you to use the
headphone cord as a shutter release thus reducing the amount of shake
and vibration.
Adjusting the Eyepiece
It may be necessary to make small adjustments to the magnification of
the eyepiece and/or the position of the eyecup in order to get a clear,
sharp image. Please note that the edge of the image circle may not be
sharp on some phone and eyepiece combinations.
Portrait: You may need to slightly
lower your tripod in order to see
the phone screen. Landscape: This mode is useful
when shooting video on some
phones.
