EyeRonec Instructions for Canon equipment
The Canon
camera and printer are capable
of performing many wonderful functions. The camera may be used for
conventional snapshots as well as using it as an Iriscope. The following
instructions are very specific and solely for iriscopy
use.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!
In-depth
information on the individual equipment for use other than for
iridology photography can be found inthe instruction books and C.D.s that accompany the Canon products.
For your convenience PLEASE leave the Canon instruction
books in the packet for now. !
*** Did you know that 99% of the questions asked and
support required is directly related to users not reading and
applying the FOLLOWING instructions.
So to avoid frustration read these pages FIRST
!
***
THANK YOU
1) The complete EyeRonec system
is packed in the ONE case.
When you open the case for the first
time please note where all the components are located so you can
re-pack the case in the same way.
There may be some items in the case
now you will not need to carry with you in the future. These are
items that are provided with the equipment for a variety of uses
other than Iridology. In future you may leave these at home, to
reduce the stress on you and the case.
The whole system
has been tested before shipping and all the items that need ‘setting
have been set. Some images have been recorded for you and one has
been printed. Please note that these are test images and usually far
from perfect, as the test is conducted only to check the integrity
of the system, often by one of our technicians
.
The 5 images “test” cartridge and the
paper (provided by Canon) have already been placed in the printer
and we have used one of the 5 test sheets provided by Canon. We have
also included a pack of 36 prints with your EyeRonec system. Further
supplies are available from us for a special price and also from
photographic shops and
electrical outlets.
2)Unpacking
the case and setting up the
equipment:
Before you remove the monitor: If your system is in a ‘Silver’ case place it close to a wall or on a chair so
that when you open the lid it is supported, this stops the case from
tipping over. The black soft material bag does not tip so no special
precautions are required, just go slowly on the zips to prevent
scratching the top of the monitor.
Removing the
monitor: Silver case: Unclip the
strap, pull on the strap up a little to make it easier for the
monitor to be removed and later re-placed. (Yes it is a tight fit )
Black
bag: Open the zips of the black case and
do not press on the screen while taking the monitor out. Remove the
monitor stand from its location and fold the stand open. Fit the
stand, by using the screws located on the back of the
monitor (indicated by a label) and the small screwdriver
provided. Put the monitor with the screen faced down on a clean,
soft, flat surface. Make sure NOTHING is in between the screen and
the desk as this can damage the screen beyond repair. Two screws
will usually be OK to secure the stand. e.
Place the
Monitor on your desk in a way so that you can see the screen as
well as the patient. Please note that the LCD screens have a limited
range of viewing angle, so push the screen back and forth a little
to obtain the best image, later, when you have turned it on. Later
check it from the patient’s perspective as well. Now plug the
power-pack cord into the back of the monitor and plug the mains plug
into the 4 way power-board. But do not turn the power on as yet! The monitor has exactly the
same DC plug as the
printer PLEASE BEWARE I have found, out the hard way, that interchanging the
plugs will be fatal (for the monitor) so you will find labels on the
end of the cables. If not PLEASE mark the plugs
yourself.
Important NOTICE: The
monitor may be severely damage if the printer plug is accidentally
plugged into the back of the monitor! (This is NOT covered by
guarantee)
Remove
the camera with the attached power supply from the case.
The camera will have 3 cables
connected to it in total:
- The
short power cable from the lens control box to the back or side of the camera,
depending on the model.
- The
video cable from the side of the
camera to the back of the VIDEO monitor; Yellow plug to yellow socket on the monitor).
- (Black plug is
NOT used {sound})
- The white USB cable with the small
plug going to the side of the camera and the larger plug to fit
into the left side of the printer.
DO NOT
FIT ANY BATTERIES
! The camera does NOT need
batteries!
If you have used the camera
without the lens for family snaps you must remove the batteries to
avoid leaking and damaging the camera beyond repair. Normally the
camera is powered by the mains supply.
The EyeRonec
lens system has already been fitted for you. If you, at a later
date, would like to use the camera for taking “normal” pictures you
may carefully remove the special lens and fit the plastic cover ring
provided in its place.
To replace the
EyeRonec lens or in the case the chrome lens ring is still attached,
remove the plastic silver ring, located around the lens, by
pressing the button, located just to the side at the bottom of the
lens. The plastic ring is very light and it may need a little tap as
well as anti clockwise rotation for it to be removed
Attach
the EyeRonec lens unit by lining-up the dot on the lens unit
with the mark on the
camera. Hold the
button
down and turn slowly clockwise (to the
right) until it locks into place. (You may hear a feint click) The
latest cameras are fitted with a plastic catch not metal as before.
This means you need to take extra care when fitting and removing the
lens unit.
NEVER FORCE THE LENS unit !
On the next page is an illustration of
a camera similar to the one you have received.
Although the
buttons may be in
different locations the names and functions will be
the
same.
Above is just an example of a camera and the functions
of all the buttons.
Your
camera may differ in outlay but most buttons will be
similar.
The “SET”
button should have been called the “OK” button for
clarity.
Now remove the
printer.
Plug the white
plug (end of white lead from the camera) into the side of the
printer and plug the power cord into the back of the
printer.
Do NOT mix up the printer power plug with
the monitor plug as this can be fatal for the monitor
This is the plug
on the end of the little box (Power supply). Plug the mains cable
into the little box and the other end into the 4 way power board.
The printer has been prepared for you. Remove the paper-tray from
the case and if not fitted already, place some paper into the tray.
There are 5 sheets in the original test packet. Slide and flip open
the tray, place the paper with the glossy side up and discard the
cover sheet. Look at the back of the paper, the stamp square goes
into the tray first. By locating the paper this way you will always
have the pictures the right way up. Now remove the cartridge from
the bag and place it into the slot on the right side of the printer
after opening the door.
Press all the
way until it clicks into place then close the
door.
Prepare the 4 way power board,
(USA power tab). All items should now be
plugged in.
For our International clients the equipment plugs will
look foreign; We have not changed these so that no-one can borrow
your equipment for other jobs, this way your iridology
equipment is always complete. The plug on the end of the 4 way
power-board has a plug or an adapter to fit your local mains socket.
If necessary only ONE plug needs
to be changed for a local type. The mains voltage of the equipment
is INTERNATIONAL The equipment will function from 100 – 250
Volts (Test performed in our lab
reveals that the equipment will start up from as low as 80 volts and
will operate down to 50 volts.).
Most systems
will have been provided with a RCD electrical safety
switch. Although Australian regulations state that
ALL new homes
must have a safety switch in the mains meter box supply, some of the
older homes and businesses may not have this protection, so to
protect you and your patients we may have fitted this potentially
life saving device. If at any time a fault develops in any of the
attached electrical equipment the power will turn off within 30
milliseconds (less time than a single heartbeat).To activate the
power PRESS the (GREEN)
button, after you have switched ON
the power outlet. To test the proper operation of the unit press the
(BLUE) TEST
button.
(USA units have a white and a black or a red and a black
button) The
power-board is also fitted with overload and surge protection
devices. The red light should be on, if a any time there is a strong
surge, the device will absorb the power and protect your equipment.
This may be fatal for the protection components, this is knows as
self sacrificing components. In that case the red light will not
illuminate any longer and although the power will work O.K. there
will be NO surge protection any longer. Send the faulty unit back
for repair or just use it for other appliances and purchase a new
surge protection power board for your critical equipment.
Finally plug the power plug into your
mains supply and Press the RESET button on the RCD
switch. Next, press the power buttons on the MONITOR, the CAMERA and
the PRINTER. Each of the units will have a light
illuminated.
and the PRINTER (a light will
illuminate on each unit to confirm that the power is
ON)
Select VIDEO on the
Monitor:
- Press the arrow button on the monitor or the remote control
and select
VIDEO.
- (the letters AV or V1 or something similar
will show on the screen) and press
SELECT.
Once set, the monitor will power-up in this mode.
- With the camera turned ON
(Green

4)The monitor
should now show one of the recorded
images
(If
the screen displays “NO IMAGE” follow the record
instructions first .to “take a
picture”)
You can now pull the zoom
lever, on the right hand site of the camera, once.
You will find that the image is
enlarged 2.5x. (The indicator on the left bottom of the screen shows
the relationship between the current screen (white block) and the
original photograph (the window).
Pull the
lever again to enlarge again and you can continue this until a 10x
image is displayed. This represents about 100s X the size of the
Iris or more. To move the image from right to left press < left and > right. For Up and Down press the
top and bottom buttons (of the array of 4 buttons or one round disc
button (jock wheel)).
To bring
the picture back to normal size push the zoom lever back. If you press it back once
more you will see a screen full of 9 small images, one will have a
green border, you can move the border with the < and >
buttons. To select the highlighted picture pull lever once and to
enlarge the image pull again and repeat until the desired
enlargement is achieved.
To display the date, time and
photograph number press “Display”. Rh. Top shows the Image number. Lh. Bottom the picture
number for example: No. 5 of a 17 image
“reel”.
To remove the text press
display button again. (2x)
To change
the date and time press MENU and follow the instruction book. We
have set the camera to print the date on all the
pictures.
5)
Printing:
To print you must
first display the image on the monitor. When the correct image is
shown on the monitor and after the printer is turned ON and the indicator light
is on, so there is a connection to the camera, the word “SET:”
appears in the top left hand corner of the screen.
When
the word SET shows on the screen press the SET button once and once
again for ONE print only or edit the number of copies to be printed
on the screen.
If your camera
has a blue light illuminated you can just press that button once only
to print ONE
copy.
How to print an
enlarged image onto a
photograph:
To print
enlarged images press “SET” to enter the print menu Now use the arrows to light
up TRIMMING. To select (trimming) press SET; You
will now see a RED window over the screen image. The area inside
this window will be your print.
You may
move the red window (by using the jockwheel arrow buttons) or make
the window larger (for a smaller print) by pushing the zoom lever
back (left).
When you are ready press SET. Now use the arrows again to
light-up “PRINT” and
press SET to print.
6) HOW TO RECORD, “TAKING
PICTURES”
Set the mode switch to Shooting ^ (UP
ARROW).
A circle is visible in the centre
of the monitor, the
rest is black.
(Do NOT
take pictures this way, the camera will focus on the eye lid instead
of the
iris)
Pull zoom
lever until the motor stops and you see a full screen. !!!!!!!
Camera Models with 4 or 6x zoom produce an iris
image larger then the screen and some of the iris may be cut off.
You can reduce the image by using the zoom
lever.
1) Set the selector wheel to “P” the “No Flash” icon should show.
( A
crossed lighting bolt symbol on the right hand top of the
screen.)
On the P setting the “No
Flash” selection will remain unchanged, so there is no need to set
this each time.
(To obtain the most natural, white, colour we have already set the white level so
NATURAL colours will display when you use the P setting.)
(Please note that on the AUTO
setting the colour will be too
blue due to the daylight colour of the lights. Use Auto for your family pics, without the EyeRonec
lens fitted)
2) You MAY have to press the down arrow button to set
“macro” ( a tulip symbol appears on the
screen) However many
camera models will focus OK without the macro set! This is explained
further on.
* A blurred image may indicate that the setting needs
changing.!!
Place your finger in front of
the lens. The lights should be ON (2 for blue eyes, 4 or 6 for dark brown eyes) and you
should clearly see your finger print in focus, when you press the
shutter release ˝ way down.Or place the eyecup on your clothing, you
will see the fine weave come
into focus when you press the shutter
button 1/2 way down.
Please note that there is NO need to look at
the camera you look at the MONITOR while adjusting the camera
to get the eye in
the centre of the
screen.
To take the iris
picture you place the lens-eyecup over
the eye and press the shutter button 1/2 way down until
the image is in focus and centered. You may need to move the camera a little to centre
the image and press the shutter button ˝ way a few times until the
iris is in focus. When in focus hold the button ˝ way and Now press
the shutter button all the way down without releasing the
button and without moving the
camera. One
or more GREEN squares may appear on
the screen when you are taking a picture, this shows the area that
the camera is focusing on. If the focus is clear
and the image is centered, the middle square will
go green. If the overall picture
is in focus 3 squares will show, although this would be unlikely for
an iris, which is a round, ball shaped image. A beep maybe emitted
when in focus. If a green square is
located on the eyelid the iris will most likely be out of focus.
(As the focus point was
the eye lid not the iris)
After you
have taken the picture the image will be displayed for 10sec
(this is called preview ),
if it looks OK
take the next
iris photo.
The EyeRonec lens unit is
designed to allow for Caucasian (deep set) as well as Asian eyes by moving the eyecup
ring forward. The knurled ring will extend and reduce the length of
the lens and thus the distance between the eye and the camera
lens.
The current model has an
rotating eye-cup ring, just rotate the rubber eye-cup to suit right
or left eye.
The Knurled ring controls the distance
from the eye to the lens and needs to be set at the correct
distance, once set it will be OK for most irises. Most cameras will
focus O.K. without the
MACRO set at the half way to full extension of the
lens and WITH MACRO set the lens needs to be
short. (All the way in) Please
experiment with theses settings so you know the best position to
take photographs (Before trying it out on
patients)
When taking iris
photographs it is good practice to always start with the right
eye.. The eye-cup rotates and the flap should
face away from the nose and thus block out ambient light. So after taking the right
eye rotate the cup to
turn the eyepiece to the right, to photograph the patient’s left
iris. If at any time
the image does not focus correctly, and the image gets clearer when
you pull the camera back (towards you) a little, you need to extend
the lens ring by using the knurled
ring. Should you pull the
ring out of the barrel then this is not
a problem as the ring
is held in place by a spring loaded ball, which allows you to
push the ring back in. Practice a little and you will find that the
action is quite nice and needs not much pressure.
The rubber eyecup
may be cleaned with alcohol
or methylated spirits between
patients.
To take SCEROLOGY pictures remove the
front ring so that the patient can hold the eyelid down with a
finger while you take
the picture. ( Look up, look down, look left and look
right)
To display the image on the
screen turn mode lever downwards. (blue icon)
* If at
any time the screen goes blank, pull the zoom lever or press
any other button to wake up the camera.
This auto
sleep function can not be turned off in record mode; Canon
has set this so that if one forgets to turn the camera off the
batteries do not run flat. Although we do not use
batteries this feature is fixed.
*If
the the monitor is blank try to press “Display”on the
camera, you may have accidentally pressed this button. The
camera WILL always go to sleep if there is no movement in the
record mode and the monitor may go to sleep if there is no
input signal, but will wake when signal appears.

9)
GUARANTEE
Canon Australia can provide an extended warranty (total of 3 years)
however we must arrange this for you.You will receive a
CERTIFICATE. We require the camera and printer serial numbers and all your name
and address details and if the extended service was not included in
the purchase we need a payment of
$95.- But only if
your purchase does not include the extra
guarantee.
If the
guarantee IS included you need to provide the details to EyeRonec,
we will arrange the extended service and payment to
Canon.
This
must be arranged within 30 days of purchase of the equipment so
please go on line and register at www.eyeronec.com.au/register
Overseas
clients have 1 year guarantee unless they have an Australian
address.
The Video
monitor has a separate (1 year) guarantee.
Contact the service centre listed on the video
Monitor’s paperwork if service is required at any time.
Please do NOT
send us any suspect equipment, instead CALL us first, we may be able
to assist you.
LCD
monitor screens are made with some 2 million transistors. The
reliability of manufacturing is very good nowadays and only a few
transistors will fail, which will show as
black or white dots. The industry standard is to pass equipment
with a maximum of
8 faulty transistors. Some may be DEAD and show a black dot and
some will be fully ON and show a white or coloured dot.
These will be only
visible on an empty screen and depending on the background colour.
This is quite normal and
does not effect the operation or viewing of the unit and is not
covered by any guarantee.
10) Portable
case instructions
If your
system has the screen located inside the lid of the silver case, you
must take care to protect the screen against damage.
Place the
screen towards the lid (upside down for the SAMSUNG and KROSS
(Sharp) unit, upright for the LG monitor) and lock it in place.
Some monitors have a very tight fit and some minor
scratches may appear on the top of the monitor after removing and
replacing the screen into the lid. (There is just no room for extra
padding)
Do
NOT PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN the screen and the
lid.
The soft carry bag also
needs care. Please take care of the screen it is very
fragile!
The
monitor goes in the bag upside down and the screen facing inward. A
stiff cardboard sheet has been provided in the front pocket to further
protect the
screen.Mechanical damage
to the screen is NOT covered by any guarantee so take extra care and
always pack and handle the case yourself and if you fly place the
bag or case in the overhead locker. Do NOT let the bag/case go
through as cargo (Checked
baggage)
The KROSS
(Sharp) monitor must have the stand removed for transport; Remove
the cover lid (if fitted) and undo the 4 screws, take off the stand
and put the screws back into the holes so you don’t loose them. We
have marked the spots with coloured dots.The stand stores in the
centre compartment in the silver case or the front pocket of
the black bag.
When stored in the silver case always put the cover plate in
place so that you can secure the unit for transport by clipping the
strap over the turn button. The luggage type "Roll-on-board" case with wheels has the
monitor in the lid as well and it is secured by means of the 2
straps.
It is good practice that before you OPEN the silver case you
sit it on a chair or close to a wall so that the lid is supported
and the case is steady. The monitor in the lid could make the unit
top heavy and the whole case may tilt back
unexpectedly.
These are the main
instructions for the CANON EyeRonec equipment used as an digital
iriscope.
If you have any
suggestions that can help others please pass them on to us by
emailing Leo@care.cc
Further
information and features of the equipment may be found in the
manufacturers instruction manuals and CD’s that are provided with
the system.
Thank you.
