CAMERA BASICS
The Retiga-SRV’s image capture capabilities are controlled entirely by your imaging software. This
chapter provides basic instructions for working with the camera itself.
Turning the Camera On and Off
To turn the Retiga-SRV on, press the power switch. The Retiga-SRV lights will flash and the white
power light will remain on, provided that you have the appropriate configuration of “Step 3” in the
“Introduction” section. Refer to this step for all system configurations ensuring that the FireWire
cable(s) are connected as specified. If power is supplied, the WHITE LED will turn on.
To turn the Retiga-SRV off, press the power switch again. This will turn your camera off. The WHITE
LED will turn off.

microscopes and lenses.
To attach the camera to a microscope:

mounted securely. Use the microscope controls to adjust focus.
To attach a C-mount lens to the camera:
Carefully thread the C-mount lens onto the camera’s lens ring, rotating the lens in a clockwise
direction until it is mounted securely. Use the lens controls to adjust focus.
