Confirm the image and, if satisfactory, save the image. Use the

(capt. button) or the REC

 

menu or the shortcut menu to save the image.

 

 

 

If the brightness needs adjustment, change the exposure condition by using the C_gn (camera gain) adjusting button and the shutter speed adjusting button, then photograph again with the

(exposure start button).

 

To return from this status to the live image, press

(focus button).

To get out of the DF/FL scene mode, select another scene mode or the custom mode.

NOTE: When connecting DS-L1 with the Nikon 80i microscope equipped with DIH-E or Nikon 90i microscope via USB, the shutter for the episcopic illumination will automatically open or close, corresponding to the DF/DL scene mode operation.

This function is enabled only when observation method of the microscope on DS-L1 is set for “FL” (fluorescent microscopy) (For the setting for each observation method, refer to “6.2.3 Microscope Status Display/Microscopy Setup Menu (MIC Info Menu)” in Chapter VI.).

With this function, the shutter opens by entering the DF/FL scene mode (in case the shutter has been closed). Then, when the exposure by the (exposure start button) is completed, the shutter closes. When performing

the focusing again with the (focus button), or performing the exposure

again by the (exposure start button), the shutter opens again. Further, when selecting another scene mode or the custom mode to get out of the scene mode, the shutter opens (in case the shutter has been closed).

NOTE: When using Nikon 80i microscope equipped with DIH-M, if the automatic shutter open/close function is required, input the following Telnet command from the PC.

With this operation, the shutter will always open/close automatically while the microscope is used in the DF/FL scene mode.

NOTE: If you are photographing a dark subject that requires a long exposure time, use the camera head in a cool place to allow its temperature to decrease. This will help to reduce star-shaped noise and increase the camera performance.
