INFRA-RED ILLUMINATOR
It is important to remember that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source, it may loose its effectiveness over a great distance.
NOTE: The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned off.
USING THE CAMERA ADAPTER(OPTIONAL)
To use your Night Storm with a 35mm camera or camcorder you will need the following:
1)If you plan to use a camcorder, then your camcorder must have a MACRO feature. Most modern camcorders today have a MACRO feature

•Remove the rubber eyecup from the Night Storm
•Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on your Video camera’s lens or your 35mm camera’s lens.
•Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.
•Place the camera adapter over the Night Storm’s eyepiece.
•Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the Night Storm’s eyepiece
•You may need to focus the 35mm camera or video camera in combination with the Night Storm in order to get the sharpest possible image.
•We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the Night Storm so that the scene is at its sharpest. For best results you should disable the auto focus (if any) on either the 35mm camera or the video camera and manually focus the 35mm camera or the video camera. Once the image is sharp, then simply adjust the Night Storm’s front lens to change the focus.
