Table below includes explanations of the FA settings tab for fundus Angiography imaging:
Setting
Values (default bolded)
Purpose
Start Study /Stop
Study
Start study enables study to start. For every new study, user
needs to go into the menu and start study to enable the
study or Time counter. Stop study will finish study session.
Half press capture
On/Off
Enable capture by pressing shutter button half way.
Mark side
On/Off
Mark side of the eye to the image data.
Automatic IR contrast
On/Off
Enable automatic IR contrast
Target Blinking
On/Off
By default the fixation target light is on with constant
illumination. If patient cannot keep their eye targeted well
the light can changed to blink to help focus on the target
light.
Automatic exposure
On/Off
Turn automatic exposure on or off for captured images.
Capture setting in
image
On/Off
Enable or disable writing of capture settings to image.
Instant Review
On/Off
Instant review can be ON/OFF according to user need, as
available in FA Optics menu.
Start Study/Stop Study
Start study enables fluorescein angiography study to start. For every new study, user needs to go into the
menu and select start to enable the study or Time counter. Stop study finishes fluorescein angiography
study session.
Half-press capture
It is possible to take images by pressing shutter button halfway down.
Marking side
It is possible to mark which eye was imaged. Marking side is enabled from the menu. When On, side is
marked to the file name and to the image. When marking side is enabled, camera verifies side after each
captured image. Identifiers used for eye images are OS for left and OD for right.
Automatic IR contrast
Automatically adjust infrared live view brightness and contrast according to image content. Improves
visibility of fundus features during aiming. Same contrast and brightness settings are applied to IR still
captures.
NOTE: In IR/IR mode, IR brightness adjustment does not always directly affect brightness on screen when
automatic contrast is enabled. This happens because automatic contrast feature always tries to adjust
screen brightness to same level. IR brightness setting still works, but the effect is only visible when
adjustment range of automatic contrast adjustment runs out. It is advisable to use highest brightness that
does not cause image saturation (pink or white “washed out” effect).
Target blinking
By default fixation target light is on with constant illumination. If patient cannot keep their eye targeted
well light can change to blink to help focus on the target light.
Automatic exposure
Brightness of captured still image is optimized to be as bright as possible i.e. having maximum brightness.
By default, brightness optimization is on.
