FAQs

> Can FOTO be attached to any camera?
  FOTO can be attached to any camera that has a filter thread attachment. Many cameras like the Canon PowerShot G10 can be used with a standard adapter directly available from 3Gen. A few camera models require a special adapter ring which can be purchased in many photographic supply stores. 35mm film cameras can only be used if the front of the lens does not rotate during focusing (which would cause unwanted rotation of the FOTO).
>

Which cameras do you recommend?

  We can highly recommend cameras like the Canon PowerShot G10 which has excellent focusing, great overall image quality and high resolution.
>

Do you sell digital cameras?

  Yes, please see our FOTOsystem.
>

Can I use the flash with FOTO?

  There is no point in using the flash, as it will not illuminate the field of view with FOTO. In digtal cameras, you will need to turn off the automatic flash for best results
>

Can I use manual focusing if my camera has problems focusing?

  Yes, it may make life easier and quicker with some cameras. With a fixed distance to the skin, you can almost always use the same focus setting.
>

When should I not use the faceplate?

  The glass faceplate provides a fixed distance from the skin and helps to flatten your imaging area. However, you may choose to use the ring without the glass faceplate for imaging basal cells or telangiectasia as the glass-slide compression forces blood away from your imaging area.
>

Why do I have to be in full contact with the skin?

 

To allow fixed focusing and image stability, FOTO is designed to be set onto the area of examination.

>

Do you provide an instructions booklet with FOTO?

 

We include a highly visual, 12-language "QuickStart Guide" with every FOTO model, which will guide you through the few steps required for setting up the device. We design our products with simplicity in mind and have eliminated the need for a tedious and complicated product manual.

>

Does FOTO work with 220V?

>

How long does the Power Pack 850 last?

 

Once fully charged and turned on, the Lithium-Ion battery delivers about 3 hours of continuous energy before light intensity drops off significantly. In typical intermittent use, the Power Pack should deliver enough power for about 50 five-minute exams.

>

How long does it take to recharge the Power Pack 850?

 

Depending on charge level, it can take up to 2 hours.

>

I need to take shadow-free macro photography with the macro mode of my camera and have no need for additional magnification. Do you have a device for this?

 

Our attachments MacroLite and MacroLite XP are specially designed for this scenario. More>

>

I wish to use a device like the FOTO but want to photograph superficial skin structures rather than deep pigmentation.

 

Cross-Polarization cancels out surface reflections for imaging deep pigmentation in skin lesions. For a surface-polarized model, please contact 3Gen and we may be able to help you with your special need.
