With parts of Canada in the path of Monday’s solar eclipse, many are excited to photograph and/or record it. However, there are important steps you need to take in order to properly protect your equipment, as well as your eyes.
Nikon Canada has a two-part video series available that includes all you need to know to properly (and safely) capture this exciting event:
How to Prepare for The Solar Eclipse – Part 1:
In this video, Nathan from Nikon will show you what kind of lenses, filter, and other accessories you will need to capture the eclipse. *Please note there is an option for French captioning for this video under Settings.
A few important considerations from Nikon Canada:
The solar filter must be placed in FRONT of any telescope, camera lens or mirror.
It should NEVER be used behind an eyepiece, viewfinder or lens, including any drop-in filters found on lenses.
Do NOT point the camera at the sun when the lens is NOT protected by a filter that is specifically designed for SOLAR VIEWING.
Even if you are wearing solar observing glasses, do NOT look through a viewfinder of a camera if the lens is not protected by a solar viewing filter.
