Operation
• Connect the camera to your computer.
a) Adjusting camera
Position the lens (11) of the camera as close as possible to the object (put the front side for
example on a newspaper).
In order to prevent damage, make sure that no material touches the optics. Also, do
not touch the optics (Lens will be soiled!).
Do not immerse the camera in liquids or touch wet material with the camera/with the
