Set the illumination level using the illumination level switch (38).
You can confirm the current level by refering to the illumination level
display on the color video monitor.
Illumination level
Note: Normally the illumination level has five levels - during a visible
fluoro-observation it has seven illumination levels to choose from.
The illumination level is automatically set to level 3, when the
instrument is first turned on.
CAUTION
Set the flash level using the flash level switch (37).
Check the compensation value by refering to the flash level
compensation display on the color video monitor.
66
Note: You can compensate for the flash level in either direction, (+) and (-),
to a maximum of two steps from the currently set position.
When the flash level is identical to the reference value, no
compensation value is displayed.
The flash level is automatically set to the reference value, when the
instrument is first turned on.
The illumination level is automatically set to the reference value, when
the power supply is turned on.
Note: You can adjust the reference value of the flash level in either direction,
(+) or (-), to a maximum of two steps. See the Flash level on page 56.
Note: The flash level display can also display the light intensity level (unit:
WS), as well as the the compensation value.
For details about the flash level setting, contact your dealer or
TOPCON (see the back cover).
Note: If the patient has strong myopia, pull out the diopter compensation
lens selector one step and set it to (-) myopia.
If the patient has strong hyperopia, pull out the diopter compensation

Note: Comparison of the ( ) scale and the patient's eye will indicate whether
the pupil is large enough for retinal photography.
Note: If dilation is insufficient, you can change the flash level to twice the set

on the video monitor.
Split lines
Note: If the split lines cannot be aligned using the focusing knob, change the
diopter compensation lens.
For details, see Changing the diopter compensation lens on page 67.
Because split lines are inactive when the diopter compensation lens is
other than (0), turn the focusing knob so the eyeground image is
clearly visible on the color video monitor.
Note: If the split lines are not clearly visible, lower the illumination level, or
lower the brightness of the color video monitor.
For details about adjusting the brightness of the video monitor, see
Adjusting the color video monitor on page 90.
If one of the split lines cannot be seen, check if dilation is insufficient,
or if the eyelashes or eyelid are shading the eye.
Note: You can remove split lines from the Monitor screen.
Pressing the split switch (36) removes the split lines from the monitor
screen.
Pressing the split switch (36) again, displays the split lines on the
