Canon Digital Camera Basic Setup – Micro-Photography

Using the Light Source of X-Loupe

The White Balance is set to Day Light Mode (5000~6000°K) in accordance with the 6000°K light source of X-Loupe.

If using light sources other than X-Loupe, please refer to Canon User Guide.

The image of a partial subject in micro-photography may have difficulty to differentiate due to some special properties of that subject. Using the Vivid Mode could improve the effect of image to get better inspection result. If the Vivid Mode can not reach the expected result, try other Modes.

In micro-photography, the camera has to approach closely to the subject, and the focal area is magnified many times. Using Evalu ative Metering Mode could help the system to grab more informat ion and get more precise Shutter Speeds.

Please set the Compression to Fine. (Altering this setting would change the image file size.)

Set the Recording Pixels value according to the output media. For instance, choosing higher Recording Pixels value if the picture is for printing. (Altering this setting would change the image file size.)

Single shooting is the default setting. (IXUS 800IS/955IS is equipped with image stabilization function) In a circumstance where stable posture is hard to maintain or the subject is moving or trembling, please choose Continuous Shooting Mode to take more pictures to get better results.

Canon IXUS series is not compatible with the shutter cable release. To reduce the influence of vibration during shooting, please use Self-Timer for better performance. Please refer to Canon User Guide for more details.
