Your two favorite magnification sizes have now been programmed.
The level set with the SIZE dial overrides sizes arrived at by using the
PRESET button. For example, if the SIZE dial is set to size 8 and then you
press PRESET to go to a smaller size, the next time you turn the SIZE dial to
increase or decrease size it will immediately go to that new size.
Merlin Plus’ Object Locator feature can help you quickly locate something
you’re looking for on a page, or a specific part of an object you want to view
more closely.
To Locate the Desired Object:
1. Select the level of magnification desired.
2. Press and hold the PRESET button. Merlin
Plus will automatically zoom out to the widest
field of view, and a “target” (as shown in figure
1) will appear in the center of the monitor screen.
3. Use the X-Y table and move your work or reading
material until you have located the desired item within the “target” area.
4. Release the button and Merlin Plus will magnify the item you located
within the targeted area.
If you hold the button down for more than 10
seconds the target will disappear.

When Merlin Plus is turned on, it is automatically set on auto focus. This is
the most convenient setting for everyday activities, such as reading anything
from a single page to a thick book, reading a prescription bottle, or working
with arts and crafts.
FOCUS LOCK allows you to maintain focus on a specific object at a fixed
distance, such as for writing. Merlin Plus’ INTELLIGENT FOCUS LOCK fea-
ture will automatically refocus on the object you are viewing after changing
magnification size.
To Use Focus Lock for Writing
1. Place your note paper, stationery, checkbook or other
writing material on the X-Y table.
2. Press the LOCK button on the control panel. The
letters “FL” will appear and remain in the upper left
corner of the monitor.
Merlin Plus will now keep your writing in focus, rather
than your hand when it comes into the camera’s frame.
If you change magnification sizes, INTELLIGENT
FOCUS LOCK will automatically refocus on the
desired object or page.
3. To return to AUTO FOCUS, press the LOCK button.
The letters “AF” will appear in the upper left corner of
the monitor.
