If you have the MEMENTO camera enclosure kit, the front, decorated with the Adafruit logo, has a ring of eight NeoPixel LEDs around the lens opening. These can light your subjects with different light levels and colors.

Take photos with different light levels and colors to see dark objects more clearly and to add some artistic tint.

Make sure you have also connected the cable between the MEMENTO A1 port and the front panel with the lights on it (it won't work without it). Refer to the guide page below on how it is assembled.

Get Ready

Be sure your MEMENTO is powered off.

Load a microSD card into your MEMENTO.

Now you can turn on your camera.

Setting the Light Level

Press and release the Right button to pick the LED LV (LED level) menu (it will highlight and invert the text, you can cycle through all menus or press Left if you pass it).

It shows up in the upper left corner of the display, where the resolution is most often shown.

Setting the LED Color

To change the color of the NeoPixel ring, press and release Right button to pick the LED CLR (LED color) menu. LED CLR will be shown in the upper left corner of the display (where the resolution is usually displayed).

Taking Pictures

Once you have the lighting set, the NeoPixel ring will illuminate your subjects. All kinds of effects are possible, especially with colored lights.

On Power Cycle or Reset

The LEDs will be off after power cycling or resetting MEMENTO, the setting is not saved.
