Digiscoping allows you to get extremely close shots of an object from afar. It is commonly used in wildlife photography because it allows the photographer to get a zoomed-in shot without interrupting the normal behavior of the animals. The technique simply requires attaching a digiscope to the Canon camera. A digiscope is a form of telescope that is meant to work with cameras. The process is fairly simple.
Instructions
1. Adjust the aperture to "P." This is the setting that will auto-balance the light-exposure settings.
2. Mount the camera on the tripod. Pull back the arm on the top of the tripod until you can lift the small tripod-mounting plate from the platform. Insert the screw in the center of the mounting piece into the threaded hole on the bottom of your camera. Turn the screw clockwise until it is snug in the camera. Pull the arm back on the tripod once again. Rest the mounting piece on the platform one side at a time. Release the arm. The piece is held in place by the arm.
3. Connect the digiscope to the camera. Align the small, threaded end of the lens with the circular lens holder on the camera. Turn the lens just slightly clockwise until it clicks into place. Some larger lenses may require you to screw an additional support to the lens and tripod.
4. Frame the scene that you would like to shoot by looking into the camera's view window. Adjust the focus rings on the lens until you have a sharp picture through your viewer. Press the button on the top of the camera to take the shot.
