EyeRonec Instructions for Canon equipment
The Canon camera and
printer are capable of performing many wonderful functions. The
camera may be used for conventional snapshots as well as using it as
an Iriscope. The
following instructions are very specific and solely for iriscopy
use.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST !
In-depth information on the
individual equipment for use other than for iridology photography
can be found in the instruction books and C.D.s that accompany the Canon products.
For your convenience
PLEASE leave the Canon instruction books in the packet for now.
!
*** Did you
know that 99% of the questions asked and support required is
directly related to users not reading and applying the FOLLOWING
instructions.
So to avoid
frustration read these
pages FIRST !

THANK
YOU
1) The complete EyeRonec system
is packed in the ONE case.
When you open the case for the first time please note
where all the components are located so you can re-pack the case in
the same way.
There may be some items in the case now you will not need
to carry with you in the future. These are items that are provided
with the equipment for a variety of uses other than Iridology. In
future you may leave these at home, to reduce the stress on you and
the case.
The whole system has been tested
before shipping and all the items that need ‘setting have been set.
Some images have been recorded for you and one has been printed.
Please note that these are test images and usually far from perfect,
as the test is conducted only to check the integrity of the system,
often by one of our technicians .
The 5 images “test” cartridge and the paper (provided by
Canon) have already been placed in the printer and we have used one
of the 5 test sheets provided by Canon. We have also included a pack
of 36 prints with your EyeRonec system. Further supplies are
available from us for a special price and also from
photographic shops and
electrical outlets.
2)Unpacking the case and setting
up the equipment:
Before you remove the monitor: If your system is in a ‘Silver’ case place it close to a wall or on a chair so
that when you open the lid it is supported, this stops the case from
tipping over. The black soft material bag does not tip so no special
precautions are required, just go slowly on the zips to prevent
scratching the top of the monitor.
Removing the monitor:
Silver case: Unclip the strap, pull on the strap up a little
to make it easier for the monitor to be removed and later re-placed.
(Yes it is a tight fit )
Black bag: Open the zips of the black case and do not press on the
screen while taking the monitor out. Remove the monitor stand from
its location and fold the stand open. Fit the stand, by using the
screws located on the back
of the monitor (indicated by a label) and the small screwdriver
provided. Put the monitor with the screen faced down on a clean,
soft, flat surface. Make sure NOTHING is in between the screen and
the desk as this can damage the screen beyond repair. Two screws
will usually be OK to secure the stand. e.
Place the Monitor on your desk in a
way so that you can see
the screen as well as the patient. Please note that the LCD screens
have a limited range of viewing angle, so push the screen back and
forth a little to obtain the best image, later, when you have turned
it on. Later check it from the patient’s perspective as well. Now
plug the power-pack cord into the back of the monitor and plug the
mains plug into the 4 way power-board. But do not turn the power on
as yet! The monitor has
exactly the same DC plug as the printer PLEASE BEWARE
I
have found, out the hard way, that interchanging the plugs will be
fatal (for the monitor) so you will find labels on the end of the
cables. If not PLEASE mark the plugs yourself.
Important NOTICE: The
monitor may be severely damage if the printer plug is accidentally
plugged into the back of the monitor! (This is NOT covered by
guarantee)
Remove the camera with the attached
power supply from the case.
The
camera will have 3 cables connected to it in total:
- The short power cable from the lens control box to the back or side of the camera,
depending on the model.
- The video cable from the
side of the camera to the back of the VIDEO monitor; Yellow plug to yellow socket on the monitor).
- (Black plug is NOT used
{sound})
- The white USB cable with the small
plug going to the side of the camera and the larger plug to fit
into the left side of the printer.
DO NOT
FIT ANY BATTERIES
! The camera does NOT need
batteries!
If you have used the camera without the lens
for family snaps you must remove the batteries to avoid leaking and
damaging the camera beyond repair. Normally the camera is powered by
the mains supply.
The EyeRonec lens system has
already been fitted for you. If you, at a later date, would like to
use the camera for taking “normal” pictures you may carefully remove
the special lens and fit the plastic cover ring provided in its
place.
To replace the EyeRonec lens or in
the case the chrome lens ring is still attached, remove the
plastic silver ring, located around the lens, by pressing the
button, located just to the side at the bottom of the lens. The
plastic ring is very light and it may need a little tap as well as
anti clockwise rotation for it to be removed
Attach the EyeRonec lens
unit by lining-up the dot on the lens unit with the mark on the camera. Hold the
button
down and turn slowly clockwise (to the
right) until it locks into place. (You may hear a feint click) The
latest cameras are fitted with a plastic catch not metal as before.
This means you need to take extra care when fitting and removing the
lens unit.
NEVER FORCE THE
LENS unit !
On
the next page is an illustration of a camera similar to the one you
have received.
Although the buttons may be in
different locations the names and functions will be the
same.
Above is just an example of a camera and the
functions of all the buttons.
Your camera may differ in outlay but most
buttons will be similar.
The “SET” button should have been called the “OK” button for
clarity.
Now remove the printer.
Plug the white plug (end of white
lead from the camera) into the side of the printer and plug the
power cord into the back of the printer.
Do NOT mix
up the printer power
plug with the monitor plug as this can be fatal for the monitor
This is the plug on the end of the
little box (Power supply). Plug the mains cable into the little box
and the other end into the 4 way power board. The printer has been
prepared for you. Remove the paper-tray from the case and if not
fitted already, place some paper into the tray. There are 5 sheets
in the original test packet. Slide and flip open the tray, place the
paper with the glossy side up and discard the cover sheet. Look at
the back of the paper, the stamp square goes into the tray first. By
locating the paper this way you will always have the pictures the
right way up. Now remove the cartridge from the bag and place it
into the slot on the right side of the printer after opening the
door.
Press all the way until it clicks
into place then close the door.
Prepare the 4 way power
board,
(USA power tab). All items should now be
plugged in.
For our
International clients the equipment plugs will look foreign; We have
not changed these so that no-one can borrow your
equipment for other jobs, this way your iridology
equipment is always complete. The plug on the end of the 4 way
power-board has a plug or an adapter to fit your local mains socket.
If necessary only ONE plug needs
to be changed for a local type. The mains voltage of the equipment
is INTERNATIONAL The equipment will function from 100 – 250
Volts (Test performed in our lab
reveals that the equipment will start up from as low as 80 volts and
will operate down to 50 volts.).
Most systemswill have been provided
with a RCD electrical
safety switch. Although Australian regulations state that
ALL new homes
must have a safety switch in the mains meter box supply, some of the
older homes and businesses may not have this protection, so to
protect you and your patients we may have fitted this potentially
life saving device. If at any time a fault develops in any of the
attached electrical equipment the power will turn off within 30
milliseconds (less time than a single heartbeat).To activate the
power PRESS the (GREEN)
button, after you have switched ON
the power outlet. To test the proper operation of the unit press the
(BLUE) TEST
button.
(USA units have a white and a black or a red and a black
button) The
power-board is also fitted with overload and surge protection
devices. The red light should be on, if a any time there is a strong
surge, the device will absorb the power and protect your equipment.
This may be fatal for the protection components, this is knows as
self sacrificing components. In that case the red light will not
illuminate any longer and although the power will work O.K. there
will be NO surge protection any longer. Send the faulty unit back
for repair or just use it for other appliances and purchase a new
surge protection power board for your critical equipment.
Finally plug the power plug into your mains supply and
Press the RESET button on the RCD
switch. Next, press the power buttons on the MONITOR, the CAMERA and
the PRINTER. Each of the units will have a light
illuminated.
and the PRINTER (a
light will illuminate on each unit to confirm that the power is
ON)
Select VIDEO on the
Monitor:
- Press the arrow button on the monitor or
the remote control and select VIDEO.
- (the letters AV or V1 or something similar
will show on the screen) and press
SELECT.
Once set, the monitor will power-up in this mode.

4)The monitor should now show
one of the recorded images
(If the screen displays “NO IMAGE” follow the record
instructions first .to “take a
picture”)
You can now
pull the zoom lever, on the right hand site of the camera, once.
You will find that
the image is enlarged 2.5x. (The indicator on the left bottom of the
screen shows the relationship between the current screen (white
block) and the original photograph (the window).
Pull the lever again to enlarge again and you
can continue this until a 10x image is displayed. This represents
about 100s X the size of the Iris or more. To move the image from
right to left press
< left and
> right. For
Up and Down press the top and bottom buttons (of the array of 4
buttons or one round disc button (jock wheel)).
To bring the picture back to normal size push
the zoom lever back. If
you press it back once more you will see a screen full of 9 small
images, one will have a green border, you can move the border with
the < and > buttons. To select the highlighted picture pull
lever once and to enlarge the image pull again and repeat until the
desired enlargement is achieved.
To display the date,
time and photograph number press “Display”. Rh. Top shows the
Image number. Lh.
Bottom the picture number for example: No. 5 of a 17 image
“reel”.
To remove the
text press display button again. (2x)
To change the date and time press MENU and
follow the instruction book. We have set the camera to print the
date on all the pictures.
5)
Printing:
To
print you must first display the image on the monitor. When the
correct image is shown on the monitor and after the printer is
turned ON and the
indicator light is on, so there is a connection to the camera, the
word “SET:” appears in the top left hand corner of the screen.
When
the word SET shows on the screen press the SET button once and once
again for ONE print only or edit the number of copies to be printed
on the screen.
If your
camera has a blue light illuminated you can just press that button once only
to print ONE copy.
How to
print an enlarged image
onto a photograph:
To print enlarged images press “SET” to enter
the print menu Now use
the arrows to light up TRIMMING. To select (trimming) press SET; You
will now see a RED window over the screen image. The area inside
this window will be your print.
You may move the red window (by using the
jockwheel arrow buttons) or make the window larger (for a smaller
print) by pushing the zoom lever back (left).
When you are ready press SET. Now use the arrows again to
light-up “PRINT” and
press SET to print.
6) HOW TO RECORD, “TAKING
PICTURES”
Set the mode switch to Shooting ^ (UP
ARROW).
A circle is visible in the centre of the monitor, the rest is
black.
(Do NOT take pictures this way, the camera
will focus on the eye lid instead of the
iris)
Pull zoom lever until the motor
stops and you see a full screen. !!!!!!!
Some Camera Models produce
an iris image larger then the screen and some of the iris may be cut
off.
You can reduce the image by
using the zoom lever. A slightly smaller image will appear sharper
as well.
1) Set the selector wheel to
“P” the “No
Flash” icon should show.
( A crossed lighting bolt
symbol on the right hand top of the
screen.)
On the P
setting the “No Flash” selection will remain unchanged, so there is
no need to set this each time.
(To obtain the most natural, white, colour we have already set the white level so
NATURAL colours will display when you use the P setting.)
(Please note that on the AUTO
setting the colour will be too
blue due to the daylight colour of the lights. Use Auto for your family pics, without the EyeRonec
lens fitted)
2) You MAY have to press the down arrow button to set
“macro” ( a tulip symbol appears on the
screen) However many
camera models will focus OK without the macro set! This is explained
further on.
* A blurred image may indicate that the
setting needs changing.!!
Place your finger in
front of the lens. The lights should be ON (2 for blue eyes, 4 or 6
for dark brown eyes)
and you should clearly see your finger print in focus, when you
press the shutter release ˝ way down.Or place the eyecup on your
clothing, you will see the fine weave come
into focus when you press the shutter button 1/2 way
down.
Please note that there is NO need to
look at the camera you look at the MONITOR while adjusting the
camera to get the eye in
the centre of
the screen.
To take the
iris picture you place the lens-eyecup
over the eye and press the shutter button
1/2 way down until the image is in focus and centered. You may need
to move the camera a
little to centre the image and press the shutter button ˝ way a few
times until the iris is in focus. When in focus hold the button ˝
way and Now press the shutter button all the way down
without releasing the button and without moving the
camera. One
or more GREEN squares may appear on
the screen when you are taking a picture, this shows the area that
the camera is focusing on. If the focus is clear
and the image is centered, the middle square will
go green. If the overall picture
is in focus 3 squares will show, although this would be unlikely for
an iris, which is a round, ball shaped image. A beep maybe emitted
when in focus. If a green square is
located on the eyelid the iris will most likely be out of focus.
(As the focus point was
the eye lid not the iris)
After you have taken the picture the image
will be displayed for 10sec (this is called preview ),
if it looks OK
take the next
iris photo.
The EyeRonec
lens unit is designed to allow for Caucasian (deep set) as well as
Asian eyes by moving
the eyecup ring forward. The knurled ring will extend and reduce the
length of the lens and thus the distance between the eye and the
camera lens.
The current
model has an rotating eye-cup ring, just rotate the rubber eye-cup
to suit right or left
eye.
The Knurled ring controls
the distance from the eye to the lens and needs to be set at the
correct distance, once set it will be OK for most irises. Most
cameras will focus O.K. without
the MACRO set at the half way to full
extension of the lens and WITH
MACRO set the lens
needs to be short. (All the way
in) Please experiment with theses settings so
you know the best position to take photographs (Before trying it out
on patients)
When taking
iris photographs it is good practice to always start with the right
eye.. The eye-cup rotates and the flap should
face away from the nose and thus block out ambient light. So after taking the right
eye rotate the cup to
turn the eyepiece to the right, to photograph the patient’s left
iris. If at any time
the image does not focus correctly, and the image gets clearer when
you pull the camera back (towards you) a little, you need to extend
the lens ring by using the knurled
ring. Should you pull the
ring out of the barrel then this is not
a problem as the ring
is held in place by a spring loaded ball, which allows you to
push the ring back in. Practice a little and you will find that the
action is quite nice and needs not much pressure.
The rubber eyecup may be cleaned with
alcohol or methylated
spirits between patients.
To take SCEROLOGY pictures remove the
front ring so that the patient can hold the eyelid down with a
finger while you take
the picture. ( Look up, look down, look left and look
right)
To display the
image on the screen turn mode lever downwards. (blue icon)
* If at any time the screen goes blank, pull
the zoom lever or press any other button to wake up the
camera.
This auto sleep function can not be turned
off in record mode; Canon has set this so that if one
forgets to turn the camera off the batteries do not run flat.
Although we do not use batteries this feature is fixed.
*If the the monitor is blank try to
press “Display”on the camera, you may have accidentally pressed
this button. The camera WILL always go to sleep if there is no
movement in the record mode and the monitor may go to sleep
if there is no input signal, but will wake when signal appears.

GUARANTEE
Canon Australia can provide an extended warranty (total of 3 years)
however we must arrange this for you. You will receive a
CERTIFICATE. We require the camera and printer
serial numbers and all your name and address details and if the
extended service was not included in the purchase we need a payment
of $ 95.- But only if your
purchase does not include the extra
guarantee.If the guarantee IS included
you need to provide the details to EyeRonec, we will arrange the
extended service and payment to Canon.
This must be arranged within 30 days of
purchase of the equipment so please go on line and register at www.eyeronec.com.au/register
Overseas clients have 1 year guarantee unless they have
an Australian address.
The Video monitor has a separate (1 year)
guarantee.
Contact the service centre listed on the
video Monitor’s paperwork if service is required at any time.
Please
do NOT send us any suspect equipment, instead CALL us first, we may
be able to assist you.
LCD monitor screens are made with some 2
million transistors. The reliability of manufacturing is very good
nowadays and only a few transistors will fail, which will show
as black or white dots. The industry standard is to pass equipment
with a maximum of
8 faulty transistors. Some may be DEAD and
show a black dot and some will be fully ON and show a white or
coloured dot. These will be only visible on an empty screen
and depending on the background colour. This is quite normal
and does not effect the operation or viewing of the unit and is not
covered by any guarantee.
10)
Portable case instructions
If your system has the screen located inside
the lid of the silver case, you must take care to protect the screen
against damage.
Place the screen towards the lid (upside down
for the SAMSUNG and KROSS (Sharp) unit, upright for the LG monitor)
and lock it in place.
Some monitors have a very tight fit and
some minor scratches may appear on the top of the monitor after
removing and replacing the screen into the lid. (There is just
no room for extra padding)
Do
NOT PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN the screen and the
lid.
The soft carry bag also
needs care. Please take care of the screen it is very
fragile !
The monitor goes in the bag upside down and
the screen facing inward. A stiff cardboard sheet has been provided
in the front pocket to further
protect the screen.Mechanical damage to
the screen is NOT covered by any guarantee so take extra care and
always pack and handle the case yourself and if you fly place the
bag or case in the overhead locker. Do NOT let the bag/case go
through as cargo (Checked baggage)
The KROSS (Sharp) monitor must have the stand
removed for transport; Remove the cover lid (if fitted) and undo the
4 screws, take off the stand and put the screws back into the holes
so you don’t loose them. We have marked the spots with coloured
dots.The stand stores in the centre compartment in the silver
case or the front pocket of the black bag.
When stored in the silver case always put the
cover plate in place so that you can secure the unit for transport
by clipping the strap over the turn button. The luggage type
"Roll-on-board" case with wheels has the monitor in the lid as well
and it is secured by means of the 2 straps.
It is good practice that before
you OPEN the silver case you sit it on a chair or close to a wall so
that the lid is supported and the case is steady.
The monitor in the lid could make the
unit top heavy and the whole case may tilt back
unexpectedly.
These are the
main instructions for the CANON EyeRonec equipment used as an
digital iriscope.
If you
have any suggestions that can help others please pass them on to us
by emailing Leo@care.cc
Further information and features of the
equipment may be found in the manufacturers instruction manuals and
CD’s that are provided with the
system.
Thank
you.
