Advanced Video Controls
Focus lock
By default, the camera automatically focuses on the closest object in view. However, if you want it to focus on
a specific object such as the document on the reading table, you can turn on the focus lock feature. This pre-
vents the camera from accidentally focusing on your hand or any other item that moves in front of the camera.
During normal operation, we recommend that you leave the focus lock feature off.
1. Press the red focus lock button once to turn on focus lock. The padlock icon appears on the screen:
2. Press the button a second time to turn off the focus lock. The camera now focuses automatically again.

Turning LED Reading Lights On or Off
Note: The eMag200 has two reading lights designed to illuminate documents and other items you place
on the reading table. This lighting is diffused to reduce glare and reflections. However, some items,
such as photographs or glossy magazine pages, may be too shiny or reflective toview easily. When
viewing such items, you can turn off the reading lights if you like.
1. To turn off the LED reading lights, press the button in the center of the yellow brightness dial and the red
focus lock button simultaneously.
2. Press both again when you want to turn the reading lights on.

Using the eMag200 Reading Line
The reading line is a horizontal line that is displayed on the screen to help you keep your place while reading
adocument. It is useful when using the reading table to scroll your document across the screen.
To use the reading line, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button in the center of the blue color select dial on the eMag200 control panel to place
ahorizontal line across the screen. The line is displayed approximately one third of the way up from
thebottom of the screen.
2. Now move the reading table to the right to continue reading the text. To read the next line, move the
reading table away from you until the reading line is under the next line of text. Now you can move the
reading table to the left to continue reading.
3. To remove the reading line from the screen, press the center of the blue color select dial again.
