visible light or want to guide the
patient's fixation to a part to be
photographed.

Internal xation target: center of
posterior
When you want to guide the pa-
tient's xation under infrared ray
observation. The position of the
xation target is internally xed in
the instrument; therefore, stability
is increased when photographing
repeatedly.

Internal xation target: center of
macula
PERIPHERAL
Internal xation target: center of
macula, and one of eight periph-
eral points (according to the set-

When you want to perform mosa-
ic mode photography with macula
in the center under non-mydriatic
observation.
You may congure the settings to
specify an area and sequence of
photography.
For all of the above xation targets, a red and a green lamp alternatively turns on.
