4. BASIC OPERATION 

 

Remove the battery door.                                                                        
Insert 4x AAA alkaline batteries into the camera. 
Close the battery door. 
Press the POWER button to turn the camera ON. 
Place your observed object below Micro Life’s lens. 
The object will be displayed on the screen. Adjust the FOCUSING DIAL to attain the   
clearest image of the selected object. 
Adjust the FOCUSING DIAL. You will find two clear dots, which are in accordance with   
the smaller zoom ratio (10X optical magnification) and the larger zoom ratio (17X optical 
magnification). Slightly adjust the FOCUSING DIAL up/down until the ruler is displayed.   
Then adjust it properly to attain the clearest image.     
This microscope provides the several LED light intensity modes. First observe your subject 
up-close. Then cycle through the various intensity levels until you are satisfied with the image. 
You may use the embedded electronic ruler to measure the observed subject. Please see   
the example image below. Each bar represents 0.1mm.You can calculate the length of the 
subject according to the amount of bars it extends to. 

         

 

Note

 

1. 

Make sure the camera lies flatly on the observed object.

 

2. 

The value measured by the ruler may have some deviations because of the difference in 

focusing positions. 

3.

 The value is for reference only. 

The current zoom ratio will appear on the lower left of the rule. Zoom your view by turning   
ZOOM WHEEL left (zoom out) or right (zoom in). When the optical zoom ratio is 10x, the   
maximum digital zoom ratio is up to 300x; when the optical zoom ratio is 17x, the maximum   
digital zoom ratio is up to 500x.   

Note

 

The bigger the digital zoom ratio, the larger the variation the ruller and the real zoom ratio, 

 

and at the same time the worse the image quality. So please select the appropriate   
digital zoom ratio according to your need.

 

Zoom your subject by pressing the ZOOM WHEEL left (zoom out) or right (zoom in). 
Switch between PHOTO and VIDEO mode by pressing the MODE button. Press the   
SHUTTER button to capture a photo or video. It will be saved onto the SD Card
