customizable menues. Even adjustments like zoom
position and custum white balance settings can be
recalled this way.

2) Disabling flash

Press on the flash button (see picture) until the „flash
disabled" symbol appears on the display. This sym-
bol will also remind you anytime that the flash has
been disabled.

3) Custom white balance setting

The light supplied by our ring light is equivalent to a
cloudy light situation. In order to reproduce the right
tooth colours in your practice you should perform
a custom white balance reading with the camera.
Some light situations are too difficult for the AWB
(auto white balance) setting to interpret correctly.

Adjusting the Tone (White Balance):

1) Switch on Ring Light
2) Press FUNC./SET Button and step on to WB
Menu with the direction buttons
3) Select
horizontal Menue in the right bottom corner.
4) Point the camera (with the lighting system turned
on) on a white sheet of paper and press the
button.
5) The camera will take a picture and it will use the
„white" as a reference for further takes. Now press
the MENU button. You will see a color square.
Move the point two pixels in direction M and one
pixel in direction B. Now press MENU to get back.
Chose My Colors menu below WB menu and
select „Lighter Skin Tone" to get the best dental
results.
Note: When using the doctorseyes Ring Lights you
should make the white balance measurement using
the same lighting conditions as you will when making
dental shots of your patients.
