Important:
If you turn on the illumination on the Digital Microscope in a very bright room or near a window on a sunny day,
the image on the monitor can appear much too bright. This is because the camera is very sensitive. Too much
light overpowers the fi ne details of the observation object. In this case, you must completely shut off the light on
the Digital Microscope, so that all the details are visible on the monitor.
3.5 Taking Pictures
Using the camera shutter (2), you can take a picture and save it as a JPG fi le.
1. Press the camera shutter (2) or select 'Still image capture' in the menu 'Capture(R)' in the
'CamApp' program.
2. The 'Photo' window appears on the screen with a picture.
3. To save the image, click 'File' and 'Save' or 'Save As'.
3.6 Making Movies
The 'CamApp' program allows you to make movies with the microscope and save them as AVI fi les.

File Folder'. For example, 'Own Files' -> 'Own Videos'.

3. Under the 'Capture' menu, you can end your fi lming with 'Stop Capture'.
