Concerning the photography ready lamp
The ready status of the fundus camera is indicated by the color of the photography ready lamp.
This status differs depending on the photography mode and image-taking conditions.
Concerning the adjustment of the flash intensity (for color, red free, cobalt photography
mode, and fluorescein angiography mode)
The flash intensity is already set to the standard level for each photography mode.
To adjust the intensity, press the flash intensity switches.
Each time one of these switches is pressed, the intensity is increased or reduced by steps of 0.3.
The flash intensity selected is shown by the lighted area of the flash intensity indicator.
Note: For details on the flash intensity adjustment in the fundus autofluorescence mode,
refer to Concerning the adjustment of the flash intensity (for fundus
autofluorescence mode) (page 32).
