Is 1000x magnification possible through the camera? Also, how do you adjust the magnification when using the camera?

The camera is used in place of the ocular lens (eye piece). The magnification is adjusted with the three objective lenses (the lenses on the turret). The depth of field (focusing range) is very shallow at high power, and only very thin translucent subjects can be view clearly, as with nearly all compound light illuminated microscopes.

Hi Ray. There is no magnification. It's just an eye cup that makes it easier to use the viewfinder in that it keeps your face a bit away from the back of the camera and does block some light from entering from the rear of the viewfinder.

Ooh! I would say about 10-15 yards is where your image first becomes clear. You can not adjust for that. The first mag setting is 4 times normal sight, so its "zoomed" in to start with. U Willard a blurry image within 10 yards.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

sorry have not had mine long enough to answer that. but i will tell you that the magnification is not what i expected.would have sent it back but my husband 'hard wired' it and i did not have the heart to tell him i was not happy with it. don't buy it!

You have to focus using the telescope. From the time you mount it the camera can only adjust ISO, the rest is fully manual.

I agree with the other answers here. Even though your camera kit far exceeds the recommended weight limit for the DNA 1000, it's still doable if you buy extra counterweights. However, it will still be very hard to control. I recommend you just go with a smaller lens such as a 18-55 because you're not going to get smooth video with a long focal length anyway.

I had this problem as well. You can zoom out past the area where you get the tunnel-vision effect. However, this adaptor kit does not allow you to zoom out to the maximum, thus the magnifier has little value since you can zoom under normal circumstances (without the adaptor kit) to get the same magnification.

There is a manual mode on the camera, as well as auto-focus. The zoom is done manually.

Hi Anthony,The correct magnifications are 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x and 3x. The magnifications in the current video needs to be updated. We sincerely apologize for any confusion.

I believe it around 200% increase. I bought it to work on iPhones and it worked perfect. You can adjust magnification by holding the object either closer or farther away. With the light, it adds the ability for your eyes to focus in on the objects. Worked great for me. I hope this helps.

This is not a microscope it is a microscope CAMERA. So powe depend on the scope it is on. I found that the clearest images were at magnifications of 250 and below.

Yes you can adjust the aperture. F/2.8 is the max you can go and it can be constant as you zoom in and out. but you can lower it to say F/8 etc.

No you cannot do that. The slowest speed is like a slow live panoramic . Nice and smooth but too fast for time lapse. It's a good panner but not great. It is the only one worth a damn for under 1000 that I have seen.

You cannot get a quality point and shoot digital with a long wide angle zoom that has a viewfinder. In fact, you can hardly get any point and shoot with a viewfinder. I really miss having this feature for several reasons: (1) I wear reading glasses. With a viewfinder (especially one that allows an optic adjustment) I can see details of the shot I want to take (is my subject smiling?). With the largest LCD screen, I cannot always see the detail I want. I sometimes have to put my glasses on to take a picture. Not easy when you are wearing goggles on a ski slope. A pain anywhere. (2) In bright sun, forget it. Just "point and shoot" and hope for the best. (3) Holding the camera up toward your eye and slightly against your face provides a more stable base and results in much less shake than holding a camera out from your body. I don't know why manufacturers stopped making viewfinders--economy? weight? --but I sorely miss them. I'm afraid it's a lost cause.

dont know(never hit a limit), i can tell you that you cant zoom during recording.

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.
