parcipant’s view. Adjust the posion of the laptop so that the distance from the front of the camera

target distance on the Host PC is around 52 cm.
Step B) When the parcipant is seated, lt the screen of the laptop so that it is perpendicular to the
parcipant’s line of sight.
Step C) Adjust the posion of the laptop so that the images of the parcipant’s eye are aligned in the
horizontal center of the camera view.
Step D) Adjust the camera angle by holding the camera with your le hand, lng it to the intended
angle, and then ghtening the clamping knob on the right side of the mount with right hand to lock
