The magnification depends on the monitor used for display – the larger monitor, the larger magnification.

 

 

 

The monitor size defaults to 27” – but can be changed in the control panel.

The magnification is calculated as:   Magnification = DigitalZoom x  ImageDPI / MonitorDiagonalDPI

If the magnification shown is 1 – then an image of (approximately) the camera sensor size is displayed.

 

NOTE: The objective must be correctly calibrated to have the correct magnification readout.

NOTE: Depending on the resolution setup of your monitor, the pixels on your monitor are not necessarily square – in this case the magnification shown is only approximate.
