Better Light 7 Manuel D’Utilisation

Some of the operating parameters of the camera control 

software can be customized for easier use, as determined 
by the type of imaging being done, and the preferences of 
the camera operator.  The default operation of several of 
the exposure tools, and the default settings of several scan 
options, can be selected and saved as the software’s startup 
condition (in the ViewFinder™ Prefs file), or as a recallable 
condition for future use.  

As each image is captured and stored on the controller’s 

internal hard drive, the image file may be retrieved from the 
controller and stored on the host computer by checking the 
Automatically retrieve scans box. When this box is checked, at 
the end of a scan, the File Manager window opens automati-
cally and begins the retrieval procedure to the designated location. If no folder has been specified as 
a destination folder, a Save File dialog window will appear so you can rename the image and select a 
folder.

The Preferences dialog allows the selection of 

any folder in the host computer’s environment 
to be designated as the destination for any saved 
Prescans and automatically-retrieved Scans.  Click 
the Scan Folder… (PC) or Choose (Mac) button 
to bring up a dialog box which will allow you to 
search through the computer’s drive and select the 
desired folder, or make a new folder.

After highlighting the desired folder, click 

the Open (highlighted folder name) (Mac) or OK 
(PC) button under the dialog list to designate this 
folder as the destination for image files. Clicking 
the Open or OK button simply opens the folder, 
and does not select it as the chosen folder.  After 
selecting a folder, its name should be displayed to 
the right of the “Save scan folder:” label.
