I am planning to use this under my eves which means the fisheye would be looking at partly bright/partly dark areas - will this be a problem?

I'm not exactly sure what eves are, but when I use mine, I leave a small lamp on so that enough light is in the darkened room that I can make out what is in the room when looking at the cameras image on my app or computer. when I bought this camera I was window shopping so many cameras that at some point I thought this one was going to have a night vision feature, but was disappointed to learn it doesn't. It needs some light. I would not consider this an outdoor camera though, so I hope you don't plan on using it outdoors, exposed to the elements. I use mine to cover one small/medium room inside, that's it. Let me know if u have any other questions.

I like reading in bright light, but this would probably be too bright. I haven't tried it though.I doubt the angle would work very well either.

I believe the fish-eye filter merely gives you a fisheye-like distortion. The wideness of the view will depend entirely on the lens you use.

It will make your screen dark if that's what you want. But it will be hard to see.

I use mine outside in a variety of settings and conditions and viewing the images on the screen hasn't been a problem. The problem has been making the most of the on-screen icons and features (I'm looking at you depth gauge). My work around has been to become familiar in advance with what will be in place with the expected function. That makes things easier. I wouldn't suggest modifying the camera, but a good set of sunglasses and -in my case anyway- a swim mask with bifocal lenses could be worthwhile.

Not really- it largely depends on on your lighting.You certainly cannot see detail through it

I used it from the periphery and i seem to remember reading that this was fine. I've read that having the light slightly above eye level is best so that the experiences it as if it is coming from the sun. Here is a link on more than you may have wanted to know about how to use the light to address specific health matters: http://day-lights.com/us/light-therapy-news/downloads/light-therapy-wp.pdf

if you have at least 2 inches clearance on the end of the mag chamber at full open pump (the initial loading action), you should be fine....really bright in the dark.

If it's not affecting the picture I wouldn't worry about it. I haven't noticed it on mine. The only bright area is around the edges when I have the brightness up.

this shouldn't interfere with any portion of focusing either in or out of focus regions. If you put this to its fullest setting you will be left with a very close to black out filter. What you will notice its that you will probably have areas off uneven filtering the darker you set the filter.

I'm not sure it would be easy on the eyes, to have it that close. My husband has it on his night stand, and where he is laying is about 3 feet away, but he is never looking at it directly.. It is very bright ! I suppose having it setting close by would not hurt anything, as long as you didn't look right into it. Have it off to the side , out of direct line of your eyes, and that might be ok..

if you can see it in the light you will be able to see it in the dark with this.looks like a bright spot light is on looking thru the optic piece.

There is a bit of "fisheye" distortion, but it helps rather than hurts because it gives you a wider field of vision. Depth perception isn't a problem, you can still gauge how far away something is in relation to the surroundings.

It depends on the size and placement of the windows. I have a window at the side and opposite end of the room to where the screen is. You can see quite clearly. I do have blinds which are closed. I bought the 25e to ensure the 3D would be bright enough. It's perfect although I'm usually only watching at night. I have cheap cardboard covers with frames made from lattice wood. If I need to darken the room I simply put these over the windows. I hardly use them because I'm usually at work all day. The picture is very good as long as there is no direct light shining above or on the screen. Again, my expectations were exceeded. It depends on the size and placement of the windows.

No. The flat lens avoids increasing the fisheye effect under water because one "easier" way to build such a depth case would be with a curved door that would exacerbate the fisheye effect. The flat door avoids increasing the already-present fisheye, but it doesn't fix what's inherently there. You'll need to do that in software (there are packages out there that do that).

I am using this to supplement a Night Vision camera. It has a decent angle and covers my drive way. When looking at it, it is a red square of lights, noticeable but not bright. When seeing it on night camera it is a large spot light. I have not found a good final placement yet, so not sure if it will end up meeting all my needs. The one area of concern is that it is on from dusk to dawn, have not figured out the energy consumption yet. Would be nice if I could tie it into the Camera motion sensor

I would not look directly at the light, I have it on in the morning while reading or havingy breakfast and that seems to work great. My eyes are sensitive but so far no problems with them as I have the light to my side and not directly in front of me. Hope that helps!
