Turn on the illumination and adjust the brightness.
Turn on the LED power ON/OFF switch at the front of the
LED diascopic illumination base.
Turn on the LED brightness control selection switch on the
left of the base to assign control to the control box, and
then control the brightness using the remote controller.
(When the LED brightness control selection switch is off,
illumination can be controlled from the base using the LED
brightness control dial.)
Press the diascopic LED ON/OFF button on the remote
controller to turn on LED illumination. Check that the LED
ON/OFF indicator lights.
Press the diascopic LED brightness control buttons to
adjust the brightness. Press [+] to increase the brightness
and [-] to decrease the brightness.

Illumination control
When the LED brightness control selection switch
is turned on, diascopic illumination can be turned
on or off, brightness can be controlled, and light
intensity can be monitored from the control box (a
P2-RC Remote Controller, or a PC (software:
NIS-Elements)). Note that illumination cannot be
controlled from the control box, even if the LED
brightness control selection switch is turned on,
unless the LED power ON/OFF switch on the base
is turned on.
To directly control the brightness using the LED
brightness control dial on the base, turn off the LED
brightness control selection switch.
For details about using the diascopic illumination
base, see Chapter 8, “8.1 P2-DBL LED Diascopic
Illumination Base.”

Aperture diaphragm
The SMZ25 Zooming Body is equipped with an
aperture diaphragm. Turn the aperture diaphragm
dial counterclockwise (O side) to fully open the
aperture. (For details about using the aperture
diaphragm, see Chapter 7, “10 Using the Aperture
Diaphragm.”)
