*1
 The combination of the COOLPIX P6000, FSB-U1 and EZ-Micro is not recommended in terms of the weight balance.
*2
 Attaching a DS Spotting Scope zoom eyepiece to the COOLPIX S4000/S3000 is not recommended because of possible contact of the camera lens with the eyepiece lens.
*3
 Only with EDG Fieldscope eyepieces. Attaching DS eyepieces to the S640 is not recommended because of vignetting

Notes
 
 Vignetting may occur even with compatible models; occurrence of vignetting also depends on the subject and other shooting conditions
 
 Camera position may become misaligned during camera operation or replacement of batteries or recording media; adjust the camera if necessary before releasing the shutter (Removing the camera is necessary when replacing batteries or recording media.)
 
 If you notice external light on the monitor or picture image, we recommend that you use a shield such as a black cloth to prevent light entering between the mount and lens of the camera
 
 Conventional MC eyepieces cannot be used; please use DS eyepieces for connection with the FSB-U1







Calculation of composite focal length / Calculation of composite F-number




 
 Although the theoretical F-number obtained using the calculation above exceeds the camera's F-number, the actual F-number will not.

Occurrence of vignetting, based on the combination of eyepiece and COOLPIX digital camera (guidelines)

Note:
  
 Depending on the type of camera, its position, or zoom setting, vignetting may occur. If vignetting does occur, carefully adjust the bracket position.
 
  
 When a digital camera lens is used at wide setting, take care that the camera lens does not hit the eyepiece lens when zooming to telephoto setting.
 
  
 Because it may be difficult to focus when using the camera's AF function with super-telephoto shooting, we recommend that you take a series of pictures of the same subject.
