How do I connect the DC136 to my computer?

Why is the Ladibug software not showing any image?

What should I do if the image is not clear?

Press the AUTO TUNE button to automatically adjust brightness and focus. If still unclear, press the AF button on the sides of the lens for auto focus. Ensure the object is not too close to the lens.

How do I clean the DC136?

First, disconnect all cables. Then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, volatile solvents, or any liquids.

The LED indicator is off, what does that mean?

How do I capture an image?

With the Ladibug software running, press the CAPTURE button on the DC136 to capture the current image to your computer. You can also capture via the software interface.

What is the AUTO TUNE button for?

The AUTO TUNE button automatically adjusts the image for optimal brightness and focus. Use it when you first place an object under the camera.

The output screen flickers, how can I fix it?

Flicker may occur due to a mismatch in power frequency. In Ladibug software, go to Camera Settings and change the Power frequency to 50 Hz or 60 Hz according to your local power supply.
