Using Torch Control
When working in darker areas, you can enable the torch function to provide
better lighting. If the flash is not enabled, but the torch function is, the torch
remains on during image capture. The torch operates at approximately 50%
power continuously; the flash operates at full power the instant the image is
captured.
Note
The torch can be enabled at the same time the flash is enabled. If both
functions are enabled, the torch operates continuously, while the flash comes
on during the image capture. The torch enabled function times out after 60
seconds. Limit torch use to save battery power.
Assign the Torch function to a programmable button (see Chapter 2). Then, to
cycle between torch on and torch off, tap A,B, or C as needed.
Using Visible Light Flash
When working in darker areas, you can enable the flash function to light the
target object and capture better-quality visible light images. When the flash is
enabled, it operates with one burst of light when an image is captured (the
moment the image is paused).
Note
The flash can be enabled at the same time the torch is enabled. If both
functions are enabled, the torch operates continuously, while the flash
comes on during the image capture. The torch function times out after
60 seconds, and it can also be turned off by pressing the assigned
function button again. The flash does not time out.
To enable the flash:
1. Tap F.
2. Use the MOUSE controller to position the pointer over Camera Settings
on the popup menu and tap E.
3. Position the pointer over the VLCM tab and tap E.
You may need to position the pointer over the right or left arrow and tap
E to scroll to the VLCM tab.
