Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight for Cameras with Hot Shoe,Black

Product Information

I know some people find it useful, but I didn't find it to be worthwhile before I had subject recognition, but maybe if you go to Adrian Harris' link you can get some helpful tips. I can easily spot a bird with my eyes or binoculars, but have a hard time getting the location in the EVF for two reasons; the narrower FOV and the change in how things look. b) it screws down tight onto the hot shoe, whereas (it's claimed) the Oly EE-1 dot sight is a bit wobbly on the hot shoe. An alternative is to calibrate the sight against a target at infinity (or at a high distance), measure the distance between lens axis and sight, which is about 90 mm with the EE-1 on-camera (i. It does work quite well although it's a little counter intuitive at first, you just have to remember it's actually on the camera in the initial excitement of that rare BIF just entering your field of vision!

I encounter few photographers who make use of a tool for focusing faster, and I really don’t know why. Below is a good example of 10 consecutive shots where I managed to keep the bird almost always at the centre.I find it valuable for very small/fast subjects and for tighter compositions (longer focal lengths); but it does become more of a spray-and-pray situation because you aren't actually seeing the composition/focus. Si chiude semplicemente spingendo in giù, il movimento di apertura e chiusura accende e spegne il mirino. You provide the device with a battery, place it in the hotshoe of your camera, fold it out and turn it on. Centering the red-dot sight requires the camera to be tripod-mounted, or at a minimum resting on a steady support (it is impossible to do this hand-held).

On the side, there is a dial to turn it On/Off and change the brightness intensity (5 steps available). The dot-sight should instead be kept at roughly 5 to 15 cm away from the eye, where the casing around the sight is unobtrusive (this is when you appreciate the fact that the EE-1 is so lightly built).They mention that it's pretty much essential for birders, excellent for birds in flight and that the instructions are woeful. Because the rifle scope is powered by a coin-type battery, it can be used when attached to the hot shoe or cold shoe.
