ENGLISH
You can take snapshots or a short video with your microscope
using the built-in digital camera. With the SD card memory, you
do not need to use a PC or any other devices to do imaging.
Transferring images to your PC for saving or printing is easy and
will be discussed later in this manual.
NOTE: If you are going to take images, do not connect the USB cable to your PC or
damage could occur to the equipment. The USB cable is not used for taking
images.
SETTINGS AND INFORMATION FOR THE
DIGITAL CAMERA AND THE TOUCH SCREEN
The touch screen icons and their functions are quite easy to use.
Below we’ll discuss the general use of the icons. Typically, you use
your fingers with the touch screen, but you can use the included
touch pen as well. You will find the following twelve icons/ when in
the viewing/ snapshot mode:
NOTE:
After turning the LCD Monitor off, most settings will revert to the default settings.

snapshots and videos you have taken. Touch the arrows and touch/
scroll the screen to navigate and view your videos and snapshots.
You can also delete them if you choose.
NOTE: Inserting or removing an SD card while the LCD is on may cause the LCD to shut
down and/or could damage the SD card.
TRANSFERRING YOUR IMAGES
To transfer images to a PC or Mac, you need to have a free USB
port on your PC and have an imaging program for snapshots and/
or video.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the USB cable while transferring images or damage may occur.
1. You can transfer images from the SD card to your PC by using
the supplied USB cable. The small plug end of the cable plugs
into the LCD monitor (see Figure 1) and the large plug end of
the cable plugs into your PC.When connected properly, you will
see “MSDC” or similar on the screen. Your PC will automatically
recognize the new hardware. Then you will choose a program
on your PC to use for transferring images.
2. You can take the SD card out and use the SD card slot on your
PC (if available) to transfer the images as well. Either way, your
PC will ask you to choose which program you want to transfer the
images to.
Deleting all Snapshots/Video Images – To delete all images
use the memory format function, select Settings / Memory / Format
and choose SD card or Flash memory.
