      Terry GreerAug 19, 2025
      If the picture is too bright on your Olympus Digital Camera, there are several potential causes and solutions: * If exposure correction is set in the + direction, return the exposure correction value to 0 and set the desired exposure correction value. * If the metering area is set to a dark area outside the region of interest, move the metering area to the area where you want to obtain optimum exposure. * If AE lock is active, cancel AE lock. * If the input highlight level adjustment is too low, reset the current level adjustment and adjust the optimum level again. * If the microscope illumination is too bright, reduce the microscope illumination intensity or engage an ND filter to reduce brightness.

    Why are the 4080 x 3072 and 2040 x 1536 images not neat on my Olympus DP80 Digital Camera?

      santosemilySep 6, 2025
      If the 4080 x 3072 and 2040 x 1536 images from your Olympus Digital Camera are not neat, it might be due to vibration during recording. Ensure you acquire images in an environment where the microscope and camera are not vibrated. Using an anti-vibration bench can be effective.

    Why can't I open images saved in 12bit color/14bit grey scale from Olympus Digital Camera with software other than cellSens?
    • R
      Rhonda ChambersSep 8, 2025
      If you can't open files correctly (or the image appears black) when using software other than cellSens for images acquired in 12bit color/14bit grey scale on your Olympus Digital Camera, it's likely because the software doesn't fully support the 16-bit format or uses the high 8 bits for display. Use cellSens to open the file.
