2-5 Basic Image Recording Procedure
This section describes the basic operating procedure of the DP21 (from turning power ON to image recording) and the
initial setting method.
The information in this section is enough for mastering the basic method for recording still images and movies.
2-5-1 Operation flow
}Perform the optical adjustments sufficiently before proceeding to the following.
}Adjust the parfocality of the microscope’s eyepieces and the monitor display using the camera adapter. (For the parfocal
adjustment method, refer to the instruction manual for the camera adapter.)
Connect a USB memory.
Initial setting (First time only)
· Language setting
· Scale setting
· Date/Time setting
· Monitor resolution setting
Select the REC AUTO mode.
Set the live image resolution.
Press the EXPOSE button to capture and record
image.
Check framing (recording area).
(If the live image magnification is modified, return it
to 1X.)
Perform OTWB (One-Touch White Balance) adjust-
ment.
Confirm the focus and brightness of the specimen
on the monitor screen.
Adjust the microscope brightness.
· Engage an LBD filter in the microscope light path.
· Set the microscope’s control to the “
” marking or
the voltage specified for photographing.
Select the recording (TV) light path on the microscope.

Tip Focusing method
· The live image magnification can be zoomed into
1x --> 2x --> 4x. Focusing will be easier at a high zoom
ratio (p. 27).
· The accurate focusing can be identified easily by
displaying the focusing indicator on the monitor
screen (p. 37).
· If the image is too bright, dim the brightness using
an ND filter(s).
(Note) If the brightness is adjusted by controlling the
voltage intensity, the color temperature of the
illumination may change and affect the recorded
image.
· Set the image quality (p. 30), SPOT metering (p. 26),
AE LOCK (p. 27) and exposure adjustment (p. 26)
as required.
· The brightness and color tone of the live image dis-
played on the monitor may sometimes differ from
those that are recorded actually.
Set the main switch of the control box and
camera head to ON.
Note on initial setting
Before initial setting, disconnect the USB memories
(including the removable media devices such as
HDD) from the hand switch and/or control box. They
can be reconnected after completion of restarting
(auto restart) after the setting.
