Got the 70-200 zoom? - Try this!

ON FF camera preferably; set the focus to manual and turn IS off, focus at infinity, ( and later at the nearest focussing distance to comare) look through the VF through well back-lit frosted glass or similar (e.g. toilet window - doesn't have to be very bright light but good daylight) and just zoom from 70 through to 200 whilst looking through the VF

Notice the ring of light zoom back and forth???

I'm not sure why I never tried this before. Seem logical.

Do I even want to know why you're sitting on the throne with your gear zooming around?

Like the majority of sane humans the window is behind me when on the throne, you obviously have other ablutory preferences:p

What did they put in those brownies?

I am no pro,
so can you please explain "WHY" you think this is important and/ or why you have put it on the forum.

:roll??

Come on guys, he was focusing on the neighbors window when he discovered this, not his own.

And why this matters, I'm eagerly waiting to see that answer as well.

when you're on it it's behind you, when standing it's right there!

and yes I consider myself mostly sane but my window is to the right when sitting.

Thank goodness he wasn't testing out a macro lens...

I like privacy. I have no windows. (Actually it sucks, but it wasn't my design)

At least the WC downstairs has one, and it's to your right, seated.

I hope you at least have a ventilation fan...
I've got a window to my left when "squating"....

I think the OP just wants to get everyone in their bathrooms with their zooms so family members can make fun of them.

Better then my husband who took a guitar in there once and who will never hear the end of it! He claims he was testing the acoustics.

Remember, if you tap the shutter button more than twice...
