Canon Digital Camera Basic Setup – Micro-Photography

Although X-Loupe G Series work together with Canon IXUS 800IS/ 950IS digital cameras, the factory default setting of IXUS 800IS/950IS is not meant to be used in the micro-photography. Therefore, the camera settings have been altered to meet the micro-photography requirement prior to its shipping. Please refer to the following list and explanation.

Pictures shown here are based on Canon digital camera IXUS 800IS and for reference only.

Adjust the Zoom to its maximum optical value, 4.0X. (This is the standard setting for X-Loupe.)

The Manual Mode is required for micro-photography.

Please do NOT use Macro or Infinity Shots Mode.

Set the Exposure Compensation to zero and the range is from -2 to +2. The shutter speed (Long Shutter Mode) can be set as high as 15 seconds.
