Notice and Preparation before Using the X-Loupe Basic Skills for Micro-Photography
When the X-Loupe is assembled, please do the following procedures
to enjoy using the X-Loupe.
5. Please turn OFF the flash light of the camera while using X-Loupe.
6. Macro and Infinity Shots Mode of the camera is not compatible with X-Loupe.
1. Insert the appropriable Canon IXUS battery and the memory card.
2. Select the objective lens as desired and assemble it onto the X-Loupe
module.
How to choose the objective lens?
◎Field of view: The larger magnification, the smaller field of view and vice versa.
◎Moving speed of the object: The faster the object is moving, the objective lens with smaller
magnification should be used in order to obtain clearer pictures. This strategy is useful when
taking pictures for a living thing such as insects and the earthworm.
◎Depth of focus: The larger magnification, the smaller depth of focus and vice versa.
2. Focus:
The auto-focus function of Canon camera at optical zoom factor 4X is
very sensitive and clever. However, while using a higher zoom factor, it
is getting harder to focus the subject automatically. This is because any
tiny vibration (such as your pulse) is magnified with the increasing of
the zoom factor. Please use a tripod stand if clear pictures can not be
obtained by following the instruction of X-Loupe G20 Shooting Strategy.
It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects.
- Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition.
- Subjects which are moving quickly.
- Subjects under/behind glass.
- Subjects which will reflect the light.
Basically, the focusing function of X-Loupe is Auto Focus as same as
Canon camera’s. Press the shutter button halfway to focus (Focus
Lock), keep the button pressed, re-aim the camera to compose the
shot as desired and press the shutter button fully.
1.
Except the Macro and Infinity Shots Mode, all functions of Canon digital
camera are compatible with X-Loupe and function well. To get the best
performance from X-Loupe, please take some time to get familiar with the
operation and functions of Canon digital camera.
Turn on X-Loupe and Canon IXUS camera. The lens of camera should
stretch out now, and what is observed from the LCD monitor on the rear
side of the camera will be a vignette image. Don’t worry, it’s normal. This
means that the assembling of X-Loupe module and the digital camera is
successful.
Zoom in Canon camera until 4.0X, the standard optical zoom value for
operating the X-Loupe G Series.(If digital zoom setting is turned off，the
sign of 4.0X will not display on LCD.)
