Basic Skills for Micro-Photography

Notice and Preparation before Using the X-Loupe®

When the X-Loupe® is assembled, please do the following procedures to enjoy 

using the X-Loupe®.

1. Insert the appropriable Canon IXUS battery and the memory card.

2. Select the objective lens as desired and assemble it onto the X-Loupe® module.

 

3. Turn on X-Loupe® and Canon IXUS camera. The lens of camera should stretch out 

now, and what is observed from the LCD monitor on the rear side of the camera will be 

a vignette image. Don’t worry, it’s normal. This means that the assembling of X-Loupe® 

module and the digital camera is successful.

4. Zoom in Canon camera until 4.0X, the standard optical zoom value for operating 

the X-Loupe® G Series.(If digital zoom setting is turned off

the sign of 4.0X will not 

display on LCD.)

5. Please turn OFF the flash light of the camera while using X-Loupe®.

6. Macro and Infinity Shots Mode of the camera is not compatible with X-Loupe®.

1. Except the Macro and Infinity Shots Mode, all functions of Canon digital camera 

are compatible with X-Loupe® and function well. To get the best performance from 

X-Loupe®, please take some time to get familiar with the operation and functions of 

Canon digital camera.

2. Focus:

 

The auto-focus function of Canon camera at optical zoom factor 4X is very sensitive 

and clever. However, while using a higher zoom factor, it is getting harder to focus 

the subject automatically. This is because any tiny vibration (such as your pulse) is 

magnified with the increasing of the zoom factor. Please use a tripod stand if clear 

pictures can not be obtained by following the instruction of X-Loupe® G20 Shooting 

Strat egy. 

 

It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects.

 

- Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition.

 

- Subjects which are moving quickly.

 

- Subjects under/behind glass.

 

- Subjects which will reflect the light.

 

Basically, the focusing function of X-Loupe® is Auto Focus as same as Canon 

camera’s. Press the shutter button halfway to focus (Focus Lock), keep the button 

pressed, re-aim the camera to compose the shot as desired and press the shutter 

button fully. 

● AiAF Focusing Mode

 

● Suggestion: Turn OFF

How to choose the objective lens?

Field of view: The larger magnification, the smaller field of view and vice versa.

Moving speed of the object: The faster the object is moving, the objective lens 

 

with smaller magnification should be used in order to obtain clearer pictures. 

 

This strategy is useful when taking pictures for a living thing such as insects and 

the earthworm.

Depth of focus: The larger magnification, the smaller depth of focus and vice versa.
