<< What's New >>
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The main features newly added and changed from NIS Elements L 1.22.00_1431 to NIS Elements LE V2.00.00 are as follows:

1.New Cameras
  1)Digital Sight 100 is now supported.
  2)Digital Sight 50M is now supported.

2.License Authentication Changes
  1)License is no longer required.
    To use the main features, a supported camera must be connected.

3.Wi-Fi Connection
  1)Digital Sight 100 can now be connected via Wi-Fi.
  2)Added functionality to send Wi-Fi connection settings to the camera.
  3)Added a GUI to check whether the connection is via USB or Wi-Fi.

4.Annotation Additions
  1)Circles can now be drawn.
  2)Rectangles can now be drawn.
  3)Polygons can now be drawn.
    Unlike the previous polyline, the edges are automatically closed when drawing is finalized.

5.Measurement Additions
  1)Counting is now available.

6.Graticule Feature Enhancement
  1)The line width, previously fixed at 1px, can now be set in 7 steps.

7.Scale Feature Enhancement
  1)The size of the scale bar can now be set in 11 steps.
    By turning on auto size, it can be used in the same way as NIS-L.
  2)The text size of the scale bar can now be set in 4 steps.


8.Pixel Saturation Display Feature
  1)Pixels with brightness saturation (blown out highlights) can now be highlighted.
    The highlight color can be selected from 6 colors.

9.Maintain Text Size During Zooming

  1)When zooming in or out on the displayed image,
    the text size of annotations and measurements is maintained.
    This prevents text from becoming too small and unreadable when zoomed out,
    or too large and hiding the image when zoomed in.

    When this feature is OFF, it displays as in NIS-L,
    and will be shown at the same size as when saved in JPEG, AVI, or MP4 formats.
    For TIFF and ND2 formats, text size can be changed even after saving.

<< Fixes >>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<Calibration>
  1) Even if you change the display unit in options or manual calibration,
     Fixed an issue where the calibration value on the objective lens setting screen was not updated immediately.

<Graticule Scale>
  1) Drag the display position and drop it outside the image.
     Fixed an issue where multiple items were displayed or the display could not be switched.

  2) When the graticule's auto pitch is turned on,
     Fixed an issue where scaling images could cause them to display inaccurately.

<Division>
  1)Even if live images and files are displayed side by side, the split icon and split setting screen on the menu are not displayed.
    Fixed an issue where the Live + Capture display would remain stuck.
