The EyePACS Handbook: Tools for Program Success
Camera Preparation
1. The retinal screening camera has two components: a fundus camera and a
Canon Rebel Digital Camera. The fundus camera sits on top of an adjustable
table stand. The camera should be placed so that the lens is pointed in the
direction opposite of the up and down button found on the table stand. The
digital camera and the table stand should each be plugged in to a wall outlet.
The fundus camera can be plugged into the outlet on the table stand.
2. Turn on the green power switch on the table stand. Turn on the fundus camera
by pressing on the Power Switch (#15 in the fundus camera diagram on page
19). Turn on the Canon Rebel Camera by sliding the black switch (#7 in the rebel
camera diagram on page 20) from the off position to the on position. The wheel
(#8 in rebel camera diagram on page 20) should always be on manual (M)
setting.

Preparation:
1. Adjust the table height using the “up/down” lever located on the column
supporting the table (table stand) so that the patient is comfortably positioned
in front of the camera.
2. Position patient’s head onto Chin Rest (#21 on camera diagram on page 19) and
Forehead Brace (#18 on camera diagram on page 19). For the external photos,
the patient’s forehead should remain about one inch away from the Forehead
Brace.
3. Line up the patient’s eye with the Height Adjustment Mark (#19 on camera
diagram on page 19). To do so, use the Height Adjustment Ring (#22 on camera
diagram on page 19), twisting to move up or down.
4. Pull out the Correction Sleeve (#11 on camera diagram on page 19) completely.
5. Unlock the camera platform using the Platform Locking Knob (#10 on camera
diagram on page 19).
Capturing the External Images of the Right and Left Eye:
1. Always capture images of the patient’s right eye first. Move the camera
platform to the left to capture images of the patient’s right eye.
2. Position the circular target onto the center of the pupil. To do so, move target
up or down using the Height Adjusting Dial (#7 on camera diagram on page 19);
move target left or right using the Joystick (#6 on camera diagram on page 19).
The three white lights (in the form of a triangle) should be within the pupil and
