Caution

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in a minor or moderate injury. Leaking, overheating, or damaged battery could result in fire or injury. Use battery with the correct specification for the camera. Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire. Do not insert the battery with the polarities reversed. Remove the battery when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time. Otherwise the battery may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently damage the cameras components. Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns. Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Charger. After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the cable from the wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock. Take care not to touch the lens or lens cover to avoid taking an unclear image and possibly causing camera malfunction. Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. Before inserting any cables or AC adapter, check the directions and do not insert by force. It may cause breakage of cable or camera. Credit cards may be demagnetized if left near case.

User instructions

Choosing an eyepiece (50065 DCC adapter only) HDF/HR eyepieces For best overall image quality and the widest choice of magnifications at which a full frame image is obtained use any of the following eyepieces: HDF T 40810, HDF T 40937 with 50067 insert or HR 40812 with 50069 in combination with 50068 and 50067 inserts. Depending on the focal length and objective dia. of your telescope, other suitable eyepieces may include; HDF T 40862, HDF T 40872, HDF T 40809, HRand HR2 40930. 1. Initial setup Before connecting everything together, set up your telescope and eyepiece on a tripod as you would for viewing, making sure your chosen eyepiece is screwed firmly into position. Focus on an object in the normal way until the image being viewed comes into sharp focus. Twisttype eyecups should be in the down position and fold down rubber eyecups should be removed from the eyepiece. 2. Preparing the camera and lens mount Loosen the locking ring on the lens mount and slide the mount over the lens housing on the camera until it fits flush against the front of the camera body. [Fig. 1] Holding the camera and locking ring section of the lens mount in one hand, turn the main tube of the lens mount clockwise until the mount is securely tightened. [Fig. 2] 3. Preparing and fitting your chosen DCC adapter Assemble the component parts of your chosen DCC adapter as illustrated on previous page. Screw the DCC adapter onto the camera lens mount. [Fig. 3] The camera is now ready to attach to the viewing eyepiece. [Fig. 4] 4. Fitting the combined assembly to the telescope eyepiece [Fig. 5] Place assembly over the eyepiece and push down until the internal wall of the adapter comes into contact with the end of the eyepiece. [a] Hold the main section of the DCC adapter secure and turn the locking ring anti-clockwise until tight making sure the camera remains horizontal. [b] Turn the camera ON, making sure the flash is switched off before taking photographs. For additional guidance on how to operate the NV10, please read the instructions supplied with the camera. Tips for taking pictures The NV10 has no conventional viewfinder so images are composed using the LCD monitor. When the camera is turned on the LCD monitor will show a single rounded picture of the image you originally set your scope and eyepiece to. Once this single rounded picture is obtained you can adjust the zoom function to eliminate any vignetting and make any fine focus adjustments using the telescope. Set shooting mode to P Program as this gives you access to the majority of manual functions you may want to use including; Shooting mode (single, high speed and Mcapture), Metering, Remote ON/OFF, Flash ON/OFF, ISO settings and Exposure Compensation.
