SNAPSHOT QUALITY: to change the snapshot quality.

OPERATING MODE: shooting method setting
✓
Automatic Shooting Mode: the camera chooses the basic settings automatically

Semi-Automatic Shooting Mode: semi-manual entry of camera parameters
F Number: focal ratio setting, we recommend setting an average value to achieve an optimal
light/field depth ratio (F 6.3 is recommended).
ISO: image grain setting, we recommend setting a low value to achieve greater image detail
(ISO80).
Exposure Compensation: manually changing the brightness of the image, set at a value
other than 0 if you want a darker or lighter image (0 is recommended).
White balance: white balance setting (light source selection)
During installation it is NOT necessary to perform white balance setting for the camera. The
digital camera will auto-balance the white according to the light conditions where the
MacroPATH is positioned.
The user may select “AUTO” where the camera automatically adjusts the white balance or it
is possible to select the type of laboratory light source from the options in the list shown
below, so as to obtain the most realistic colour.
