• Optimal Focus: For best image clarity, adjust both the camera's focus ring and the working distance (height) from the object. Experiment with different heights to find the sharpest image for your magnification needs.
• Lighting: Utilize external lighting, such as an LED ring light (included with some models like XV1004), to enhance image brightness and contrast, especially for detailed inspections.
• Software for Advanced Features: For measurement functions and PC-based image editing, install the 'ImageView' software. This unlocks advanced capabilities beyond basic display output.
