Can't get my Firefly 8se to fill back screen

[crowTrobot]

I recently bought a firefly 8se from Hajimoto productions it is a univeral mount.
I can't get my picture to fill the back screen. The camera doesn't seam to picking up the total view of the mirror
All I get is a very small diamter video picture about 1/4 inch in diameter. I've tried everything in settings and moving the camera around
but to no avail
My biggest fear is I may have been sent a wrong lens, but I have no way of knowing
Any help would be appreciated.

thx

Jack, did you contact @Hajimoto about it? I would recommend you do. He is a great guy and he stands behind any product he sells.

Sounds to me like You may have mistakenly received the version with the 170 degree wide angle lens. You want the 90 degree lens for scopecamming. Hajimoto is good to work with. He will get it sorted for you.

Hello there Jack,
I can 100% guarantee you that you were not sent the wrong lens because we only stock the 90° lens camera. What you are experiencing is that you are not selecting the proper camera resolution and field of view settings. Set the camera up for 1080/120 and then set the FOV to NARROW. You will have full view.


Regards,

If you don't have the right settings on the camera it will do that. It seems to me you are probably shooting in 4K, but I'm guessing here.

Check this portion of the video, here I'm sharing my own settings:

Also in order to see the image on the computer screen full size I do some post processing and in this other video I share some of the most common mistakes I see and how to correct them when shooting with a scope cam
