.CAMERA. VI Basic Operations2 Photographing Images- 60 -2.3 Outputting Images Directly to a Printer2.3.1 Printing an ImageWhen operating from a shortcut menu or the REC menu, use the print icon to print.When selecting CP900D printer or a PictBridge-supporting printer in the Additional Settingsscreen of the SETUP menu window, a print icon either or respectively, is displayed.When operating from the main unit panel switch or the DS Remote Controller DS-CR, you mustchoose Print for Capture Function in Additional Settings of the SETUP menu before you can print.NOTE:* The icon cannot be selected unless a printer is connected to the system.* If a license has not been obtained, the icon is displayed in black and white.2.3.2 Various Print Related SettingsWhen CP900D printer is selected, the following various settings can be chosen:Choosing print modeThe direct print function allows you to print in either normal or real 10 mode.Choose print mode in Additional Settings of the SETUP menu.Normal print modeUnless the Mag.Fix check box in Additional Settings is selected, images are printed innormal mode by default. In this mode, an image is enlarged or reduced as will be suitablefor the printer’s paper size before being printed.Real 10 print modeIf the Mag.Fix check box in Additional Settings is selected, images are printed in real 10mode. When printing in this mode, always be sure to use the x0.7 relay lens (optional).The scaling factor in this mode is equal to 10 times the objective magnification. Forexample, if you are using a x40 objective, the print scaling factor is x400.The size of the subject can be calculated backward from the printed size and the objectivemagnification. (Subject size = subject size as printed / objective magnification / 10)Adjusting the printing conditionUse Additional Settings of the SETUP menu to adjust the printing condition.BrightUse it to adjust the brightness of a print. Use the left button to make it darker or the rightbutton to make it brighter.R_GAIN, G_GAIN, B_GAINYou can adjust the gain of each R, G and B color individually.CMP. 90-110%Use it to adjust the scaling factor during real 10 (Mag.fix) mode. Errors in opticalmagnification can be adjusted. Try printing a subject whose size is known and measure itsprinted size. If an error is found, correct. Repeat a sequence of correction, printing andmeasurement several times until an exact value is obtained.
