    Nikon P5100

    Word of warning to Digiscoping Nikon Kit Users! Don't make the silly mistake I made at the weekend. I purchased a 16-48x/20-60x Zoom eyepiece for my Spotting Scope RAIII 65 A WP only to find one flaw....it was the wrong lense! What I actually wanted to go with my P5100 / FS6 adapter was the...

    I'm no expert as already established but would it be the AF Area Mode which gives you settings like Face Priority / Auto / Manual? Then you have the Single AF Focuses when shutter-release button is pressed halfway and locks at this position when shooting or at Full Time AF where camera focuses...

    Beautiful Neil...Certainly gives my little Robin a run for it's money. :-O It's good to see the results others are getting though because that way I can compare settings. Although I think the Swarovski Scopes will always have that edge to them. :king:

    Nikon P5100

    Hi ColinSev. Thanks for the encouragement. Well I've been studying my efforts a little more tonight with the help of the EXIF viewer and on comparing my results realising what the camera is liking better. I'm starting to get my head around the fact that F/2.7 will seemingly be better than F/4.4...

    Thank you Feathered one. I won't be going away - I like it here! I have actually this morning emailed the shop where I purchased the kit from because they have a shop so it appears that overlooks RSPB Titchwell Marsh where I often go, just not taken the scope there yet. I know you are right...

    Nikon P5100

    Hi all, I think I'm actually realising that I'm out of my depth on this forum and all this advice is just completely overwhelming and baffling me with science. As a complete digiscoping novice I guess I'm trying to get too gooder results with not actually knowing an awful lot about...

    Nikon P5100

    I'm getting itchy feet and realising that to get the best out of my Scope/Nikon P5100 I need to purchase another lense, course budget would need to be considered but I noticed on the Nikon website that they talk about two different sets of lenses. A little baffled as to what would be the best to...

    Nikon P5100

    Thanks for the advice - I did just what you suggested and I now have an EXIF Viewer telling me all my settings! Of course a lot of it is gobledegook to me at present but it's interesting to see that the poorer images I took have got very high ISO settings. It appears that my cheeky little Rocky...

    Nikon P5100

    Thank you very much - In fact I've so impressed myself that it's now appeared as my desktop wallpaper both at home and at work! :t: As for checking what data I used. I'm on a mac so not sure the options you have told me are applicable? Maybe I could find out the same info in Photoshop or maybe...

    Another day scoping... Well yet again I've been hard at it with the digiscope....results not too bad again today, although fog early this morning did have impact on some of the shots my partner chanced. I seemed to desperately be having little luck trying to chase a Dunnock around the garden...

    Hi Bill, thanks for the positive words. Please can you explain Aperture Priority...It's mentioned several times on here. Sorry to sound dense but my knowledge of cameras and photography quite ignorantly don't go beyond point and shoot and I guess I am expecting too much from the camera/scope...

    First Attempts - The Nikon RA III 65A Spotting Scope with a Nikon Coolpix P5100 Thought I'd just share my very first digiscoping efforts with you using the Nikon P5100 Digiscoping Kit. They aren't photographic works of art and there's heaps of room for improvement but I have to say I am...

    Nikon P5100

    Was reading up on all the tips today and noted this comment made by yourself Neil. It's got me slightly concerned now as I have only being using the P5100 for a few hours on what I assumed was a fully charged battery. I charged it before using it in the Nikon charger. Yet after trying a few...

    Nikon P5100

    Thank you Neil for the advice. I just hope that I've made the right choice with the scope. Getting an "all-in-one" kit so to speak always concerns me a little as they do tend to go for slightly cheaper models to keep the price down. I've been experimenting today with trying to take photos of...

    Nikon Lens advice Hi all, :hi: New to birdwatching in general, I recently purchased the Nikon Digiscoping Kit - The Nikon RA III 65A Spotting Scope with a 20x wide-angle digital eyepiece, stay-on case, a Nikon FSB6 mount, a Nikon Coolpix P5100 12.1 megapixel camera offered by In Focus/Nikon...
