Operating guidelines

6.3 White balance

The white balance can be set in 2 ways:
• From the touch screen interface, click the white balance button.
• From one of the camera head buttons, depending on your programming (only possible with long press).
You should proceed as follow:
• Once the camera is paired with the endoscope, the ambient light reduced to a minimum and the
light source active, film a white surface.
• Set the white balance; the "BALANCING IN PROGRESS" message is displayed on the screen.
• Continue to film the white surface until the "BALANCE OK" message is displayed on the screen.
Note 1:
Setting the white balance causes the chronometer to be activated, signaling the start of the
surgery and therefore the availability of additional functionalities, particularly those linked to the image
quality settings.
Note 2:
If the light source is connected to the camera by the communication cable supplied, then setting
the white balance will cause the LED to light up if it was previously off.
In the event that the white balance is set during an operation, i.e. inside the patient, the endoscope
must be pulled out of the trocar and the white balance must be set again using gauze.
6.4 Focusing
Once the endoscope is connected and the light source is activated, slowly turn the lens focus ring to
find a position where the objects being observed are sharp.
Focusing on a fairly distant point helps obtain adequate field depth for the operation and therefore
avoids having to do retouching too regularly.

6.5.1 Video settings

Once the white balance is set, or the "Start" button has been pressed, access to the video settings is
authorised.
In this way, it is possible to work directly on brightness, sharpness and red gain.
Additional settings are available by clicking the "More settings" button.
