I have a Leica Apovid 77 scope with a 20-60 zoom eyepiece. I am trying to digiscope with it using an Olympus C-765 Ultra zoom camera. The nice thing about this camera is that the lens of the camera fits tight on the eyepiece of the scope with the eyecup extended, so I can snap the camera on the scope and I don't have to hold the camera. The problem is that to eliminate vignetting I need to zoom the camera to more than 10X (optical + digital zoom). With my scope zoom set at the minimum 20X, the total image enlargement is so great that I see only the head of a bird when I might prefer to see the whole bird. It is not possible to get the camera lens closer to the scope eyepiece, even by holding it as close as possible with the eyecup not extended. Are there settings on the camera that I can use to avoid the vignetting without having to zoom the camera up to about 15X. Would a different camera allow for digiscoping with less extreme amounts of camera zoom? If so, what do you recommend?
