Flickering

EXPLANATION:

Some users may experience viewing flickering in projected images when using the ELP DC-06 Document Camera with a compatible Epson projector.

This issue may only affect ELP DC-06 version V12H321001 and only under certain conditions, e.g. under fluorescent light, and depends on the DC-06 commercial power frequency setting. If you are experiencing this issue, please follow the guidance below.

In order to resolve the issue, please update the firmware of the ELP DC-06 using Downloader version 1.10. Check the commercial power frequency setting is correct for the environment in which you are using the ELP DC-06. You can update the firmware for either commercial power frequency (50Hz or 60Hz).

The following equipment is needed to complete the firmware update:

• ELP DC-06 Document Camera
• Compatible EPSON EB-8 series projector or a later compatible model
• USB cable
