water the depth of field can be reduced to only a few inches due to particles
suspended in the water. Dirty or murky water and/or low light penetration
can detract from the quality of the color picture. Optimum color quality will
result from clear water and adequate light penetration.
NOTE
: The Color kill feature will turn on automatically when the camera’s
light sensor doesn’t detect enough light for optimal color viewing. This can
happen in low light conditions, in deep water, or when the ice is very thick
and/or covered with snow.
Calibration
Calibrating the camera will provide accurate camera direction readings. To
calibrate, first enter the SETTING menu, press MENU/ENTER and enter
the SYSTEM SETTING sub-menu. Using the Up/Down arrows cycle to
CALIBRATE and press MENU/ENTER. An on-screen instructional
message will appear on the screen: “Press the up arrow and rotate the
camera clockwise two full revolutions. Once complete press the down
arrow to save”
Once you press the Up arrow button to start the calibration the screen will
display “calibrating”. After two full revolutions have been achieved press the
down arrow and the screen will display “calibrated” and the process is
complete.
CAMERA POSITIONS
Horizontal
Horizontal viewing is available by setting the camera clip in the back slot
(3rd tab; furthest from camera lens). This view will show a horizontal view
of the water column as a traditional underwater viewing system does.
Down View
The has the ability to be positioned in a down view by removing
the camera clip from the positioning system atop the camera (three tabs).
The camera will then hang vertically from the cable and send images of the
water column below the camera.
Up View
An upward view of the water column is possible with a couple of
adjustments.
First, remove the weight system at the bottom of the camera. The weight
can be removed by lifting the tab facing the rear of the camera and sliding
backwards. Attach the clip to the 1st tab (closest to the camera lens), and
carefully pull the cable though the clip to achieve the desired upward angle.
The slightly upward view allows the to gather more light to
better view the water column in low light situations such as deeper depths,
murky water, or low light periods such as dawn/dusk.
ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS
The camera system features three On-Screen Displays (OSD),
Depth, Camera Direction, and Temperature.
Depth
A depth OSD will display in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
This feature alerts the user of the depth of the camera. Camera depth will
only
show when in the water.
