Great to hear!  I am not aware of a size-based bottle neck in MM, but 
who knows.  Just to clarify, both Snap and Live fail?  One useful test 
is to use the Demo configuration and set the size of the Demo camera to 
the same as your Retiga (Device/Property Browser). Then test Snap and 
Live.  If that does not work, there surely is an issue in MM.  If it 
does not work, things get more complicated;)

Got it.  In 2.0-g you can press the ROI button second from the left. It 
will set the ROI to the center quadrant, but you first do need to Snap 
an image.  You can write a beanshell script (Tools > Script Editor), 
with the line:

mmc.setROI(128, 128, 256, 256);  // x-offset, y-offset, width, height or 
ROI

Save the script, the press "Add" in the Script Editor Window.  Click on 
Shortcuts, Add, under Action select your script (in the very bottom of 
the list), assign a key (such as "R"), and close these windows.  Now, 
when you restart MM and press "R", the ROI will be set.  You can avoid 
having to press "R" by copying your script into the Micro-Manager 
application directory and renaming to "MMStartup.bsh" (note that this 
name is set under Tools > Options).

Hope this helps!

Best,



Nico
