Taking Images
1. Snapshots – to take snapshots make sure you are in the camera mode (camera icon in the lower left of the screen) and
you will use the Snap Key on the LCD Monitor. Push the key when ready and the image will be stored in the internal
storage memory.
2. Video – change the settings to the DV Record. To begin and end your video recording push the "SNAP" key. The
movie (video) icon will flash to let you know you are recording and the elapsed time will be shown in the bottom left
of the screen.
3. You can also take images (snapshot or video) by using an SD (Secure Digital) Card. Your SD card is inserted in the
LCD Monitor (1). When you insert the SD card properly the SD card icon will be visible at the top of the LCD screen.
On the bottom right of the screen will be shown the memory available on the SD card. When imaging this way the
images are saved on the SD card and not in the internal storage memory.
Note: Inserting or removing an SD card while the LCD is on may cause the LCD to shut down and/or could damage the SD card.

Reviewing and Managing Your Images
You can review and manage your snapshots and videos on the LCD Monitor that are saved in the internal storage memory.

want to view and press the OK Key to view with full screen. Thumbnail images appear on the left half of the screen (as
you scroll through the images on the right) and the images are listed by number on the right side of the screen for ease of
selection. To review your videos while in the stored images, press MENU and then select the video you want to review.
Push OK to start and stop the video. Press ESC to exit the video. When observing an image with full screen view, you
can return to the stored images by pushing the ESC Key. To exit to real time (snapshot mode), push the ESC Key again.
2. You can manage your images by pushing the MENU Key:
A. File Protect – you can make selections by pushing the OK Key. You have a choice of "Lock" to protect this
image or "Unlock" where the image is not protected.
B. Del File – if you want to delete one or more images you can select "Current" to delete the image you are
viewing or you can select "All" to delete all of your images.
C. Exit – select this to return to the "Picture View" screen.
Transferring Your Images
To transfer images to a PC or MAC, you need to have a free USB port and have an imaging program for snapshots and/or video.
Note: Do not disconnect the USB cable while transferring images or damage may occur.
1. You can transfer images from the internal storage memory to your PC by using the supplied Mini USB Cable. The small
plug end of the cable plugs into the LCD Monitor (2) and the large plug end of the cable plugs into your PC. If the
connections are proper you will see on your microscope screen "MSDC" or similar data. Your PC will automatically
recognize the new hardware. Then, you will choose which program on your PC you want to transfer the images to.
2. If you used an SD card to store your images, you can transfer them to your PC using the method in # 1 above or you
can take the SD card out and use the SD card slot on your PC to transfer the images. In either way your PC will ask
you to choose which program you want to transfer the images to.
