General Tools and Instruments DCS1700 v.1 - Manual (Page 13)

This feature can help you cope with very low-light conditions. When recording with the
boost feature activated, you must hold the probe very steady or your videos and images
will be blurred.
To rotate the probe’s field of view, use the button. Pressing the button once
backlights the button red and rotates the frame clockwise by 90°. Pressing it a second
time rotates the frame by an additional 90°, in effect turning the original view upside-
down. Pressing the button a third time rotates the field of view yet another 90°. Pressing
the
button a fourth time restores the original view and extinguishes the red button
backlight.
To remove glare, reflections or spots from the field of view, use the button.
Pressing the button adds a red backlight to it, just like the other two buttons on the VGA
Probe handle.
This anti-reflection feature of the P16181HP is most useful for eliminating reflections of
the four forward-facing LEDs in the camera head from shiny surfaces. Note that pushing
the
button extinguishes the four forward-facing LEDs and shifts responsibility for
camera lighting to the two side-facing LEDs. The net effect, as shown below, is a clearer
and more-readable image.

You can also use the anti-reflection function to remove glare created by the P16181HP’s
mirrored viewing tip (see the next section of this manual for installation and alignment
instructions). The pair of images below illustrates the net positive effect.
