    Why is my Olympus Microscope picture too dark?
    • E
      Emily WallaceSep 8, 2025
      If your Olympus Microscope picture is too dark, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the exposure correction is set in the – direction and adjust it accordingly. Also, ensure the metering area is correctly positioned; if it's set to a bright area outside the region of interest, move it to the desired area for optimum exposure. If AE lock is active and was set when the exposure time was shorter than currently needed, cancel it. Additionally, reset and readjust the output highlight level if it’s too low. Lastly, increase the microscope illumination intensity or disengage any ND filter to increase brightness.

      If you cannot use another 1394 device simultaneously with your Olympus Digital Camera, it is because the DP21-dedicated driver is installed. When the DP21 is connected to a PC, other 1394 devices cannot be used on the same PC.
