Here is some footage from the new Photon XT captured last night. It's a quick(and shaky) run through of the menu functions and reticles. We will post more and better video soon.  |

This is a pretty technical question, but maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out.
The Photon XT 4.6 has a focus ring on the front. When the lens cover is on during the daytime, the image is always focused, and you don't have to fool with the ring. Everything is just always clear. However, when you take the cap off, on a dark day or especially at night, all of a sudden you are required to constantly adjust the focus ring in order to get a clear picture. Why is that? |
