DERMOCAMERA

User’s Guide

EN

Thank you for purchasing this CASIO product.

• Be sure to keep all user documentation handy for future reference.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that this product is not a diagnostic device. It should only be used for observing skin lesions.

• This product is intended for photographing mucous membrane and the surface of the skin over the entire body.
Photography of the mucous membra ne is limited to the oral cavity, the eyeball and the genital area only. No
restrictions apply to the age or gender of the patient being photographed.

• This product is a digital camera for dermal obser vations and consists of components such as an imaging element,
lens and LED for illumination.

• The distance between this product and the operator should be no greater than 40 cm (15.7").

Operating Principle

Image data captured from the lens is converted to electrical signals by a CMOS
imaging element inside the camera and displayed as an image on the camera’s LCD
monitor.
The operator composes the image to be photographed while viewing the image
shown on the LCD monitor and takes the photograph by pressing the shutter button.
The image captured by the CMOS imaging element is converted to electrical signals
and the photographed image is saved onto a memory card.
The special lens built into the camera allows the subject to be photographed at a
distance, in the same way as a conventional digital camera, and also allows subjects
such as skin lesions to be photographed by placing the lens directly onto the skin.
Such close-up shots are taken using illumination from an LED light inside the lens.
Because the LED light used for illumination is fitted with a polarizing filter, the
operator can switch between polarized and non-polarized lighting.

Purpose and Effects

This camera can be used to photograph the skin in close-up or at a distance. Close­up shots of the skin are taken using illumination from an LED light inside the lens.
Shots taken at a distance can also be illuminated using the ring light around the
outside of the lens. This camera allows you to use the same camera to record both
enlarged images of a skin lesion and overall images of the area containing the lesion.
The LED light in this camera can be switched between polarized and non-polarized,
allowing you to photograph images of both the dermis and the epidermis with a single
press of the shutter button.

LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Take test shots

Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

Introduction (Basic Operation)

Other Important Notes on Charging

• The lithium-ion battery (DNP-100M) should only be charged using the methods
specified in this manual.

• If the battery has become hot after being used, it may not be fully charged. Allow
the battery to cool down and then recharge it.

• The battery will self-discharge even when it is not being used. Always charge the
battery before use.

• Charging may produce interference with a TV or radio. In this event, use a mains
power socket that is as far away as possible from the TV or radio.
