 | Digiscoping means not only observing nature with a high magnification spotting scope, but also taking pictures of the fascinating images seen through the spotting scope.
Carl Zeiss offers three different possibilities of using a digiscope spotting scope as a camera lens: |  | Download the detailed brochure

 | Digital-Camera-Adapter DCA and digital compact cameras. |  |  |
 | Pictures are taken directly through the eyepiece with a camera and the camera lens. This procedure is primarily for compact digital cameras that are positioned securely and exactly behind the eyepiece using the Digital-Camera Adapter. Many cameras can be used for this. Once the scope is focused, you can quickly switch between observation and capture by swinging the digital adapter and camera in. |  |

 | SLR/DSLR Photo Adapter |  |  |
 | 35mm-SLR/DSLR camera housings (without lens) can be mounted to the spotting scope (without eyepiece) using the photo adapter and a corresponding T2 adapter (depending on the camera bayonet). This results in a very stable connection; however, fast switching to observation is not possible. Both digital and analog SLR cameras can be used. |  |

 | Camera-Eyepiece DC4 |  |  |
 | The DC4 camera eyepiece is attached to the Diascope spotting scope instead of a standard observation eyepiece. Unlike the above-mentioned solutions, this permits simultaneous observation and digital photography without losing valuable time. All this with simple, compact equipment, without additional cameras or adapters. |  |
