Manual Focusing; Film Projection - Canon 450X - RE Document Camera Instruction Manual

Manual Focusing

When trying to focus correctly or focusing on a particular point of three-dimensional objects, you can
achieve focusing by pressing the manual focusing buttons. The manual focusing is valid up to approx.
65mm above the document table.
I Undesirable objects for focusing
Although the auto focus function of the RE-450X is capable of focusing on most objects, objects such as
those listed below may present some difficulty. If this happens, focus the lens manually by pressing the
FOCUS button first and then the NEAR button or the FAR button.
1. Objects with a low reflection factor (such as a dark cloth, hair, etc.)
2. Intangible objects (such as candle light, smoke, etc.)
3. Objects having a glossy surface (telephone receiver, glassware, etc.)
4. Objects viewed through glass.
5. Objects with low contrast.

Film Projection

Use the backlight to project transparencies, such as OHP film and slides.
When focusing the lens
manually, press the FOCUS
button first and then the
NEAR button or the FAR
button. During manual focus
mode, the AUTO FOCUS
indicator turns off.
To return to auto focus
mode, press the FOCUS
button.
Press the BACK LIGHT
button to project trans-
parencies. The BACK
LIGHT indicator lights up
and the document table
glows. If the illumination
lamps have been lighted,
they will go off.
Pressing the BACK LIGHT
button again, turns the
backlight off.
• Project the film to full monitor size by using the zoom button. If light from the
backlight appears in the monitor, the picture itself will not appear very sharp.
• If the color tone seems unnatural, adjust the white balance manually (see
page 13). If the auto focus function doesn't operate accurately, focus the lens
manually.
• The illumination lamps and the backlight cannot be used at the same time.
