| ShotCopy is
designed for digital cameras (still or video) that can focus clearly
to within one inch of the camera lens.
Here is a simple test that you can
use that requires only a white sheet of paper and a
sharp, clean 35mm slide image. This
test can be done on your existing camera or you can take these items
with you if you're in the market for a new camera.
Basically, the test consist of
holding the slide to within one inch of camera lens and using the
white sheet of paper to bounce reflected light onto the back of the
slide so that the slide image becomes viewable through the camera's
viewfinder. Keep the white reflector relatively close to the back of
the slide so
you don't see the edges of the reflector through the slide. The
camera should focus clearly on the illuminated slide.
If it does not focus on the
slide look at another camera model that has a
Macro-Focus feature.
That's all there is to it! A
simple and quick way to test and verify that ShotCopy will work for
you.
Also, if you have an existing
camera that won't focus to within one inch of the lens, consider
trying close-up lenses as explained in the next article to the upper
right in yellow. |
