DP21-SAL
Restrictions in Use
}Check the restrictions described in the Instruction Manual of the relevant digital camera as well.
1. The image of dark specimens under reflected light or in the darkfield (specimens that need exposure of 1/2 sec. or more
at ISO 100 equivalent) cannot be recorded.
When recording the image of the particularly dark specimen, the lack of pixel caused by the cosmic ray effect or the
constant bright point may be noticeable, but they are not failures.
2. Specimens with a distribution that is not suitable for center averaged metering require spot metering or exposure adjust-
ment.
3. When electronic zoom is used for magnification display during focusing, the image may become noticeably coarse with
certain samples.
4. The live image frame rate of 15 fps is possible when the exposure time is no more than 1/15 sec.
5. When the scale recording function or measurement function is used, the image capturing time becomes longer than
usual.
6. The trackability of auto white balance control deteriorates when the specimen contains little white area.
7. The measurement results are simply superimposed on the image and no text file or like is created.
8. The DP21-SAL can handle files of the FAT and FAT32 formats only, and it is not compatible with other file formats.
When using a recording medium of an incompatible format, it is required to convert the format into FAT or FAT32 using a
PC.
9. It is not possible to use a special USB memory adopting the security or password lock function.
10. To prevent destruction of the recorded image (data), never perform the following action during recording of a still image or
movie;
· turning power OFF;
· disconnecting the AC adapter;
· disconnecting the recording medium such as the USB memory or LAN cable.
11. There may be the case that date and time of captured image are not correctly displayed on the PC when the image is
saved in the NTFS format media such as USB-HDD (external hard disc connected by USB). Set time zone of the DP21-SAL
at the same of PC, or format such media to FAT32.
