@RyanMercerReviews not the model you are reviewing, but another one. Thank you. I don't think the digital microscopes have them, but a special camera is made for IR.
I’m not a big fan of autofocus (AF), especially when working with tools like a soldering iron or your own fingers that can enter the camera’s field of view. This causes the camera to constantly switch between the PCB and your hands or tools, which, in my opinion, becomes tedious. Ultimately, to avoid this, I prefer using manual focus. However, manual focus via buttons doesn’t seem to be the most precise method to me. Overall, I tend to prefer models without AF.
Hey Ryan, I just got one of these but I can't figure out how do you connect it to a Mac? The MacBook Pro has four USB-C ports. First, I tried to use the included HDMI to HDMI cable by connecting the smaller HDMI end to the microscope and the larger HDMI end to a multiport adapter with several ports: (UHD / VGA / SD / Micro SD / USB (two ports) / USB-C / Audio). So HDMI on the scope and UHD on the multiport adapter and that adapter plugged in to one of the USB-C ports on the Mac. No luck. THEN I tried to connect it directly to the mac with the provided USB to USB-C cable. The USB end connected to the 5V Output port, the USB-C end connected to the Mac. Also, no luck. Do I need a particular program to read the image? Nothing appears in Finder. Images do not appear. I cannot find any indication that the Mac is recognizing this as hardware or something trying to communicate with it.
@@RyanMercerReviews I figured it out... the "USB" port on the microscope goes to the computer. In my case, since my Mac only has USB-C ports, I have to use an adapter. Eventually I will buy a separate cable for this. Then I found Photo Booth on the Mac and it works. The clarity is pretty good, but the scope screen image is actually more sharp and crisp. Now I want to project it to my classroom View Sonic screen. But the way I'm doing it changes the colors drastically. An orange poppy is very yellow. But the image is there so now I'll figure that out and roll it out to my class. Thanks for your video!!
Hi, I got one on Amazon few days ago. Touch the AF button under auto focus mode and the microscope will be turned into MF mode, which is manual focus. You can touch the "+" or "-" button to slightly focus till the image is clear. Hope this helps.
The microscope: amzn.to/3WkdsAX
so hard to conect to the pc, i buy it but, no good to conect to pc, they dont have costumer service, sorry but is the thrut
:(
WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER PLEASE
You'll need to install something that can see it as a web cam, like OBS Studio
Not sure but is there a model with IR capability?
There is no mention of IR in the manual.

Very valid point!

I'm not surem, you may have to use something like OBS studio to capture the feed. I've had to do that with other stuff sending video over USB-C.

@@thanehouse6408 nice!
Anyone figured out how to turn of auto focus
