CAMERAS REQUIRING EXTERNAL METERING DEVISES
Set the light meter’s ISO index to the rating of the film being
used. Select the magnification and not f/stop as explained
above. If, as in many cases the smallest f/stop shown on your
light meter is f/45 and you need a reading for f/56 or f/64, refer
to the Light Extension Scale or increase the ISO setting as
previously explained.

After using the Discoverer as a telephoto lens, the Te l e p h o t o
Adjustment Control must be turned all the way counter-
clockwise to resume use as a spotting scope.
QUESTIONS & A N S W E R S
Q : Can I use lens filters on my Discoverer?
A : Yes, any standard 67mm diameter threaded filter will
screw on to the objective lens exactly as does the lens cap.
In long range telephotography, ground haze can diffuse the
light between the camera and the subject resulting in a hazy
appearing picture, lacking in contrast
Q : Will heat affect the image?
A : Yes, warm temperature conditions can cause the image
to quiver or “dance” resulting in a blurred effect. This is
not due to a defective scope, but rather the effects of
heat mirage.
Q : Can I take pictures of the moon?
A : Yes, since the moon is illuminated by the sun, you can
use the exposures shown in the instructions under “How To
Determine Shutter Speed.” It is important to realize that
exposure time increases as the moon wanes, with 10 times
normal exposure necessary in its crescent stage.
Q : Is the Discoverer waterproof?
A : No, it is “shower tight”. If the scope has been exposed
to moisture of any kind, wipe it dry as soon as possible.
C A U T I O N : Do no attempt to disassemble or repair any
part of the Discoverer yourself. In doing so, you will
invalidate your warranty. Special apparatus and
considerable skill and experience is required to make
even the simplest internal adjustment.
