The prism viewer cannot be focused. Is there a procedure I don't know or is this defective??

It is not adjustable, mine is clear as a bell, you must have gotten a clunker. Sorry.

It is not actually a prism, it is a straight-through optical diopter sight. Kind of like a microscope. The original K&R/Eschenbach/Wilkie brand German march compasses on which these compasses are based utilized machined threads in the diopter housing and you could adjust the focus by rotating the black eyepiece. This compass may have either a nonadjustable eyepiece or one that is improperly constructed, thus may not be adaptable to your eyesight.

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

it may not be a issue of focus it could be an issue of filters, to view planets yes you will need good lenes and a barlow adapter but there are color filters that enhance what you are looking at, I suggest you search the web for Planetary filters to see which filter is best for the planet(s) you are trying to view.

you probably didn't turn on your S-view function. it's located in the settings somewhere

You need to get an eyepiece and see if it works - if you are able to view things after yiu've gotten one, that's probably all you needed

There should be software that came with the mouse. When installed it should be in the control panel. Click on the mouse icon and a menu of choices appears. Under Buttons click the drop down menu for the button you want to magnify and there is a long list of options. The button on the side is listed as Magnify as a default but you can change any button to do what you want. Hope this is clear enough. Regards

Did the focus lock? Make sure focus sensor is on something it can grab. Try manual focus to test mechanism.

I think you need to download something for the crystal eye webcam. I really haven't opened my acer up until you just brought this to my attention. I also did not get mine from Amazon I bought it from Acers website. Mine is working but there is a little box saying it needs to be updated with a download which I saw on you tube also so here is a link. Hope this helps. You can also go to Acer.com and get the trouble shooting number and call them. They help a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KAEpHHZSD0

I had the same experience, I was not able to get it to focus at all . I have tried during different time of the night/ and month with no luck.

There is a manual focus adjustment on the side next to the view finder. If you don't use it to set viewfinder focus, it's usually blurry. This feature is also identified in your camera's manual. Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem ^^^. It is greyed out when scanning photos, in any mode.

FWIW, mine is usable only for general composition purposes. Forget about focusing, or even really seeing what you're shooting with it. I actually put mine away the day it arrived from amazon and didn't touch it again for probably a year, and figured I should have simply returned it. But since then I've come to terms with what it can and can't do, and put it on in the sunshine when I can't see the screen, and use it just for positioning large objects in the composition.

There should be a software CD-ROM provided. The software on it, though, does little. Go to www.bustatech.com and download WebcamViewer, it's free and works with this microscope. The red button seems to do nothing. The silver switch has 3 positions: LED's on, dim, or bright. The focus is very close, mine was a little inside the plastic end tube so I took a file and trimmed off the last 1/8" or so of plastic and now it works fine. The focus is still tricky, though, with that little ball-and-socket mount. One of my next projects will be to get a cheap kid's microscope somewhere (EBay?) and mount this in place of the microscope barrel so I can crank it up and down more precisely and have it stay put afterward.

A couple of easy things to try. The big eye you aim at can tilt and be hard to hit if not glued down. Also check all the connections, even the power plug.

Thank you for the response. But that is not it. I have walked through all the "Aspect' setting and the problem still exists in each area. It is very bad in the zoom setting.

You might not be able to. When I received mine, it was blurry. I threw it away because of how frustrated I got with it. It never focused.
