NEW: ZEISS Camera-Eyepiece DC4
For Diascope Spotting Scopes by Carl Zeiss

Observe and Take Digital Pictures at the Same Time!

The Camera-Eyepiece DC4 for all ZEISS Diascope spotting scopes unites both features in one device and defines “Digiscoping” – digital photography through a spotting scope – in a new, fascinatingly easy manner:

• Observe and take digital pictures. Simultaneously!
• Without an additional camera and adapter.
• Without losing valuable time.

Designed for the ZEISS Diascope spotting scope, the innovative DC4 camera eyepiece is expected to be available in January 2007. Production is limited to 1000 units.

Eyepiece

• High-quality optical observation eyepiece with 40x (with Diascope 85 T* FL) or 30 x (with 65 T* FL) magnification.
• Image observation and specification of a section directly in the eyepiece or on the camera display.
• Constant image monitoring in the eyepiece, also while taking a picture.
• Rubber-armoured, water resistant housing for use in almost all weather conditions.
• Push/pull eyecups for eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers.

Camera

• Advanced 4 MPx camera and innovative signal processing with DxO image software for outstanding photos which can be magnified to DIN A4.
• Good light intensity and long focal length for impressive pictures, even far-away wildlife scenes.
• Large 2.0” display to monitor images while taking a picture or for afterwards.
• Non-contact and thus vibration-free trigger via remote control.
• Camera setup for ISO, white balance and many other camera parameters via remote control.
• SD card to store images.
• USB and Video ports to connect to a computer or TV.
• Powered by standard batteries, rechargeable batteries or direct connection to the power grid.

Handling

• The DC4 camera eyepiece is attached to the spotting scope instead of a standard observation eyepiece.
• First focus the reticle with the image field boundary by turning the eyecup. This personal setting must only be performed once.
• The spotting scope is used to focus the image as usual. The focus is evaluated and the image section selected through the eyepiece or on the display.
• The picture is taken vibration-free by pressing a button on the remote control. Without disturbing you can continue looking through the eyepiece to the image
