ENHANCED VISION Merlin LCD Plus, User Manual

Page: 29 / 56

When Merlin Plus is turned on, it is automatically set on auto focus. This is
the most convenient setting for everyday activities, such as reading anything
from a single page to a thick book, reading a prescription bottle, or working
with arts and crafts.
FOCUS LOCK allows you to maintain focus on a specific object at a fixed
distance, such as for writing. Merlin Plus’ INTELLIGENT FOCUS LOCK
feature will automatically refocus on the object you are viewing after
changing magnification size.
To Use Focus Lock for Writing
1. Place your note paper, stationery, checkbook or other
writing material on the X-Y table.
2. Press the LOCK button on the control panel. The
letters “FL” will appear and remain in the upper left
corner of the monitor.
Merlin Plus will now keep your writing in focus, rather
than your hand when it comes into the camera’s frame.
If you change magnification sizes, INTELLIGENT
FOCUS LOCK will automatically refocus on the
desired object or page.
3. To return to AUTO FOCUS, press the LOCK button.
The letters “AF” will appear in the upper left corner of
the monitor.
On the voice recognition model only, Merlin Plus will verbally confirm
your selection of FOCUS LOCK or auto FOCUS.
