If the target cannot be brought into focus by turning the focus

compensation lens, and take the photographs. Given below is
the diopter range in which images can be photographed.

position. To bring the target into focus in the non-mydriatic mode, turn the focus knob until the fundus
image is clearly visible on the observation monitor; similarly, to bring it into focus in the mydriatic mode,
turn the focus knob until the cross hair lines and the fundus images are clearly visible in the viewfinder.
Note: When operating the diopter compensation lever, set it precisely to the 0, – or + position.
If the lever is set to a position midway between two settings, fundus images will not be
taken properly.
