along the left border (17). You can specify the location on the picture by a
Calculating measurement from the grid pat- tern
When taking pictures at 1X magnification, each square of the grid pattern represents 5mm (0.2 in.). The chart below shows the value represented by each square in pictures taken at each magnifi- cation.
Magnification | Grid square value | |
1X | 0.2 in. | 5mm. |
2X | 0.1 in. | 2.5 mm. |
3X | 0.07 in. | 1.7mm. |
Troubleshooting
Difficulty focusing
The ranging lights may be difficult to see when using the camera in very bright light, or when photographing very dark subjects. If you have dif- ficulty seeing the ranging lights:
•Check that the camera is set for the desired magnification, and is at the correct distance from the subject.
•Check that the film is not outdated.
•Move the ranging lights to a lighter area on the subject.
•Look over the top of the camera, rather than through the viewfinder.
Camera does not function
The flash and/or LED ranging lights will not func- tion if the film pack battery is weak or dead.
No image in viewfinder
The magnification selector knob is between set- tings.
Pictures too light
The camera may be too close to the subject for the selected magnification. The Lighten/Darken con-
trol may be set incorrectly. Very light subjects may require setting the control toward Darken. There may be bright ambient light affecting the exposure.
Pictures too dark
The camera may be too far from the subject for the selected magnification. The Lighten/Darken control may be set incorrectly. Very dark subjects may require setting the control toward Lighten.
Subject not sharp
The camera is at the wrong distance from the sub- ject. (Pictures also will be incorrectly exposed — too light or too dark.)
Portions of picture out of focus, or distorted subject
The camera is not parallel to the subject.
