 In order to set up the camera to work properly, you must go into the **CNC Settings > Camera**. The screen presented to you will be the one shown below:

 **Camera Interface** allows to choose between a camera connected through a USB cord or through LAN. If the camera is connected through LAN, the **Initialization line** must list the correct IP address of the camera, while the USB channel is used if the camera is connected through a USB cord.
-**Region of interest** (in pixels) signifies the area in which the camera is actively looking for markers, and should usually be set up to be equal or slightly smaller than the actual resolution of the camera. As the camera used in this example has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, the region of interest has been selected to be 1900 x 1000 to fit within the camera limitations. When switching to the Camera tab, it can be seen that the region of interest is visually highlighted in yellow, as shown in the image below:

-**Pixel to length coefficient** is used to convert the pixels travelled into the actual physical distance moved, in mm. You are able to calibrate this for both the x- and the y-axes. In order to set up the correct coefficient for your camera, please consult the full set of instructions below.

 **Camera offset** values are used to specify the distance from the camera to the working tool in the xy-plane.

 **Image sensor correction** corrects for sensors with different aspect ratios. Use this if the marker image appears distorted or stretched when viewed through the Camera tab in myCNC software.

-The pixel to length coefficient is necessary for the camera to know how many millimeters it had moved after having traversed a certain number of pixel to the left/right/top/bottom of its original position. This procedure is done by finding the ratio of millimeters moved to pixels travelled.
+The pixel to length coefficient is necessary for the camera to know how many millimeters it had moved after having traversed a certain number of pixel to the left/right/top/bottom of its original position. This procedure is done by finding the ratio of millimeters moved to pixels travelled. While it is automated in the newer versions of myCNC software, it can also be done manually in the older software versions.
 In order to do so:
