The
Regal
M2
spotting
scopes
can
be
used
for
digiscoping
with
SLR
cameras
and
point-and-shoot
digital
cameras.
Please
note
that
not
all
cameras
are
compatible
for
digiscoping
and
in
some
cameras
vignetting
(a
circular
image
surrounded
by
black)
will
occur.
Point-and-shoot
cameras
with
an
optical
zoom
of
3x
or
4x
tend
to
be
the
most
compatible
with
the
least
amount
of
vignetting.
Most
photographs
will
be
the
sharpest
and
brightest
when
using
the
lowest
magnification
on
the
zoom
eyepiece.
