USING THE THREE CONTROL BUTTONS
To boost the intensity of the four LEDs normally providing camera lighting,
press the
button. Doing so lights a red LED behind the button and improves
the brightness of video and images, as shown below.

AFTER BOOST
This feature can help you cope with very low-light conditions. When recording
with the boost feature activated, you must hold the probe very steady or your
videos and images will be blurred.
To rotate the probe's field of view, use the
button. Pressing the button
once backlights the button red and rotates the frame clockwise by 90°.
Pressing it a second time rotates the frame by an additional 90°, in effect
turning the original view upside-down. Pressing the
button a third time
rotates the field of view yet another 90°. Pressing the button a fourth time
restores the original view and extinguishes the red button backlight.
To remove glare, reflections or spots from the field of view, use the
button.
Pressing the button adds a red backlight to it, just like the other two buttons on
the VGA Probe handle.
This anti-reflection feature of the probe is most useful for eliminating
reflections of the four forward-facing LEDs in the camera head from shiny
surfaces. Note that pushing the
button extinguishes the four forward-facing
LEDs and shifts responsibility for camera lighting to the two side-facing LEDs.
The net effect, as shown below, is a clearer and more-readable image.
