Control elements on the top of the camera block
Autofocus (AF)
By using the Autofocus key, autofocus can be turned ON or OFF. The status of the
autofocus function is displayed for approximately 4 seconds at the bottom of the
screen. When autofocus is switched ON, the camera will automatically adjust the
focus setting.
Overview mode
If you are working with a higher magnification and you do not know which area of
the reading material or which part of the room you want to locate, this function will
give you an overview of the magnified area.
To activate the overview mode and temporarily zoom out for scanning (either in
reading or distance mode), hold down the AF key until „overview mode" is displayed
at the bottom left of the screen and the camera zooms out.
The cross-hair in the middle of the picture serves as a locator for the material you
want to magnify. Center the cross hair on the desired viewing object and then
release the AF key. The camera will then automatically zoom back in and return to
your original magnification setting.
Zoom + / -
The magnification can be increased or decreased by using the keys +/-.
Mirror image
The picture display on the monitor can be changed to operate as if you were looking
at a mirror. This is useful if you want to perform a personal task such as shaving or
applying makeup. To enter into mirror mode, press and hold down the zoom + and
zoom – keys, until the display briefly indicates „mirror ON". Then, flip the camera up
as if you were using the distance mode. Rotate the camera as far as you can back
towards you. It cannot rotate back the full circle, so you will have to re-position the
base of the unit to get the camera pointing towards the user. For best operation, turn
the Autofocus OFF while in mirror mode.
To return to the normal operating state, press and hold down both keys again until
the display indicates a sign „mirror OFF" and the image will be back to its normal
operating state.
