Camera
Steel casing except at front end, which is beige plastic. Weighs
about 10.5oz/297.7g with the cord. Length is 9.9in/25.1cm.
Diameter is 0.9in/2.2cm where you hold it, 0.7in/1.7cm at the
front end. Focal length is adjusted by the position of the lens
chamber, which is the constricted area near the front end. By
pulling the lens chamber out as far as it will go, you will be in the
close-up setting. You will see a red reference line near the base of
the lens chamber. The middle position, where the red reference
line is barely visible, gives you the two surfaces position. By push-
ing the lens chamber into the camera’s back end as far as it will go,
you will get to the full smile/full face position. When taking smile
images, a sheath is not recommended. While these adjustments
are not difficult, you probably will not be changing the settings
during an exam.
There is also a small image capture plastic button on the top of
the camera, where you have access to it regardless of whether you
are right-handed or left-handed. This button is easy to activate
and doesn’t cause distortions in your image. You depress the but-
ton to capture and hold the button down to save. To recapture the
image, press the button once more to erase and to go live again.
Utilizes a SuperHAD 1/4” Sony high resolution CCD with
auto white balance and continuous variable speed shutter. Has a
105˚ field of view with 50x macro lens.

Camera Cord
Measures 6.0ft/1.8m. Beige color, very flexible. It is attached to
the backpack by beige cartridge module.
Docking Station
Called a backpack, measuring 11.0in/27.9cm in width,
6.0in/15.2cm in height, 2.0in/5.1cm in thickness. It is designed
to be mounted on the back of an LCD monitor, but there is no
adapter for a CRT. To remove the camera from the backpack is a
matter of just sliding it out. Has its own capture board—you con-
nect it directly to a monitor—a computer is not necessary.
Wireless Remote Control
Small, easily fits in your hand. The buttons have one-word
descriptions for their respective funcitions: (1) View to see cap-
tured images. (2) Live to go into capture mode. (3) Next for
scrolling forward through your images. (4) Prev for scrolling back-
ward through your images. (5) Clear deletes all stored images. (6)
Light turns the light on or off. When the light is turned off, you
can capture an x-ray on a viewbox. Resulting image has the
appearance of greyscale and does not have a blue overtone. (7)
Save will save an image to imaging software, assuming you have
the software and a capture cable. (8) Gain will increase the light
level mainly for extraoral images.
Light Source
Array of nine LEDs emitting high output TrueSpectrum light
arranged around three sides of the lens.
Footpedal
None.
Software
None. You connect via a capture cable to any software of your
choosing, although this system is really designed to be used with-
out a computer.
Directions
Simple cardboard foldout. Straightforward, easy to understand.
