7. Rotate Illuminator until it snaps into place at 12:00 position:
8. Press focus light power switch:
9. Your camera is now ready to take iris pictures. When complete with the photography, reverse these steps
to put the camera away.
10. The Side-Lighting illuminator has a shutter that
controls which side the flash illumination goes to. For photographing the right iris, use the Left Channel Open position (lever to the left); for photographing the left iris, use the Right Channel Open position (lever to right):

11. For “flat” or uniform illumination, use the Both Channels Open position. This is setting is when the
lever is all the way to the left or the right:

12. Use the main command dial at the upper rear of the camera for adjusting the aperture.
The Main Command Dial is operated with the right thumb and is used to adjust aperture. Normally, the best practice is to take 3 or 4 pictures of each iris, each picture shot with a different consecutive aperture.

13. Note: for general photography, use the enclosed Zoom lens (18-55mm VR) instead (VR=Vibration

Reduction). You may also use any Nikon AF-S or AF-I autofocus lens. Older lenses will not work with the D60 since it does not include a motor drive; only the newer Nikon AF-S and AF-I lenses have a built­in motor drive for focusing. You can use any older lens but the auto-focus will not operate.
14. For general photography using the included zoom lens, switch the top Mode dial to AUTO:
15. When you return to iris photography, switch the top Mode dial back to A (A=Aperture Priority).
16. IMPORTANT: Adjust the Eyepiece Dioptric setting. (Initial Setup Only) This is a small slide switch
to the right of the viewfinder that can go up or down through 6 positions (some cameras such as the D300, have a rotating wheel), and is designed to match the viewfinder optics to your vision. When this is set: if you see the subject in focus, the camera sees it in focus. If you normally wear corrective lenses, always wear them when taking a picture. To make this adjustment for your eye:
1. move the switch to one end of the range (top-most or
bottom-most position)
2. look through the viewfinder at a bright surface (such
as a white wall) that is in the distance (this white surface should appear blurry)
3. while viewing through the viewfinder, move the
switch up or down through the range of 6 positions
until you can see the black bracket marks in the viewfinder with maximum clarity and focus
4. note the optimal position of this switch for your
vision, and always use this setting. Once you set it fo your eye’s vision, you do not need to change it. If someone else uses the camera, they need to find the correct setting for their vision (and when you resume using the camera, you need to return this switch to th setting you found for your vision).

How To Take Perfect Iris Pictures
1. Be sure the client is comfortably seated and relaxed.
2. If a chinrest is not used, have the client open their own lids by putting the index finger touching the
thumb up to the closed eye (using the arm on the same side of the eye being photographed), and then separating the index finger and thumb while holding them against the upper and lower lids respectively. Often this method is helped by having the elbow of this arm on a table.
The client covers the eye not being photographed with one hand and separates the lids with the other.
3. Have the client place the free hand
eye so as to prevent looking through it. Due to the fact that people have eye dominance (preferring to use one eye more than the other), it is important to have the client only looking through the eye being photographed, and looking straight into the camera lens. If people do not cover the opposite eye, they tend to look around the room with the uncovered eye, causing the eye being photographed to wander. Often it is helpful to have the client spread apart the eyelids with the index finger and thumb.
4. The client will see a small reflection of their eye in the camera lens, and may be guided to observe this
in order to maintain correct positioning. Ask the client to observe the reflection of their eye camera lens. This will ensure the client's eye is lined up with the camera. Often it is helpful to have the client spread apart the eyelids with the index finger and thumb.An alternative method (if lid retraction is not needed) is to have the client put the chin on the palm with the elbow on the table. For the right iris picture, the right arm is used for support this way, and for the left iris picture, it is reversed.
