INT/EXT (Internal/External)
Press INT/EXT button to toggle between doc cam (INT)and computer (EXT) modes.
Brightness / Zoom / Focus Wheel
Adjust the Brightness to the desired setting by using the UP/DOWN Buttons found on the control
panel or remote. The LED lamp can be turned on or off by pressing the LAMP button.
If glare occurs when viewing glossy materials, either turn off the lamp or use the included diffuser
sheet. Adjust the brightness as needed.
Press the LEFT/RIGHT Buttons found on the control panel to reduce
or enlarge the image to the desired size. The on screen display will indicate the
zoom range - Blue Gauge = optical zoom, Red Gauge = digital zoom.
The Optical zoom will automatically stop at 6x. Press the zoom button again to
continue with Digital zoom (up to 8x maximum). Auto focus will occur after
zooming has stopped in all modes.
Use the FREEZE button to “hold” any image on screen while you change your subject or to Freeze an
object in any position.
Tip:You can use the computer monitor as a live preview display when connected via the USB while
using the Freeze feature on the SDP-860. You can also adjust the default to Freeze both the live
image and the computer image by pressing the Menu button.
The LAMP is important because it is the quickest way to brighten your document or object. The
Samsung 860 by factory default has Automatic White Balance (AWB) built-in through an Auto
Tracking setting. This means that when you place a document, book or object on the white
presentation station, it will usually color balance the subject very quickly without the teacher
needing to make any adjustments.
Tip:
If any color adjustments need to me made when displaying a new item, the simplest solution is to simply
turn the lamp off and then back on and this will cause the doc cam to white balance itself.
Not So Important
The MF (Manual Focus) /AWB (Auto White Balance) button can generally be ignored by most
teachers as they won’t need to manually focus as Auto Focus takes care of that and Auto White
Balance is also automatically set up for Auto Tracking from the factory.
