We encourage you to familiarize yourselfwith the settings and usage of this camera.Recommended Camera AccessoriesACamera SetupBNikon D70s Camera BodyNikkor 60mm Micro LensNikon SB-29s Ring Flash128MB CompactFlash card(multiple camera cards optional)NOTE: We recommend that you use the 60mm lens as opposed to a more traditional 105mm lens because the camera has a built-in mag-nification of 1.5x. A 60mm lens is equivalent to a 90mm lens on a 35mm camera. The normal 105mm lens that is recommended for usewith 35mm film cameras is too long. The user would have to take the photos from more than 7 feet away, and with the flash this far fromthe patient's face, the images may be darker.We recommend purchasing two CompactFlash cards and using a Card Reader to import images to the Quick Ceph program. Although thecamera can be connected directly to the computer using a USB cable, the transfer process would use the camera batteries unnecessarilyand would make the camera unavailable to take additional photos. Two cards allow the user to transfer images with one card while tak-ing additional photographs with the other.Ideal settings for the extraoralphotographs, displayed ontop LCD screen.SB-29s Flash Intensity onFlash Mode Selector132Lens AdapterWhen taking the extraoral images with the 60 mm lens, the camera should be heldapproximately 5 feet from the patient’s face.

This yields images with a resolution of 2240 x 1488 pixels,which is sufficient for Quick Ceph 2000. To do this, click on the Menu buttonon the back of the camera. The menu will appear on the back LCD screen. Selectthe “Shooting Menu” using the Multi-Selector button, located on the back ofthe camera. Push the right arrow to view the options, then select “Image Size”.You can change the setting from the Large to Medium setting in this window.Next, set the camera to the “Aperture Priority” mode by rotating the FunctionDial to the “A” mode.The SB-29s ring flash should be mounted to the hot shoe on the top of the cam-era, and the ring should be mounted on the lens. Depending on the lens size, youmay need to use a lens adapter to connect the flash to the lens.
