Upon selecting the Acquire button, a Stop window appears over the keypad.
Selecting the Stop button stops the current image acquisition exposure and return
the screen to the current session exposure settings.
Note The Image Tools only function while viewing or printing the image. Display
Saturation, Invert, Auto Contrast and Adjust image adjustments are NOT saved with
the image file.
In UV mode, while viewing the live image or after capturing an image, the Display
Saturation button can be selected to highlight the image pixels that are considered
to be saturated. A red false-color is superimposed on the pixels deemed to be
saturated. Adjustment to the saturation can be done by adjusting the Aperture
and/or exposure time for subsequent images. Shorter exposure times reduce the
light exposure/saturation.
1. While viewing the live image display, select the Display Saturation button under
the time keypad.
2. The screen displays the saturated areas of the image with a red false-color.
3. While viewing the live image display, in Camera Settings, use the Aperture slider
bar to adjust the saturation by opening (moving slider to left) or closing (moving
slider to right) the aperture. Opening the aperture increases image brightness
and saturation. Closing the aperture decreases image brightness and saturation.
4. If required, the image exposure time may need to be increased or decreased to
display a properly saturated live image. Exposure time can be adjusted before
image capture by using the number keypad.
5. Select the Display Saturation button again to turn off the false-color imaging.
Note The Display Saturation button is disabled when the Auto Contrast or
Adjust Image functions are enabled.
6. Proceed with the steps for acquiring an image.
