I had the same complaint with FAF using Clarus 700. Was told to pull back on
my working distance, use the Green filter. All helped, but never matching the
examples you see on line. Center is fine, edges always soft, artifact = almost
like a vignetting. I usually just recrop the image to make it cleaner.

We are slowly learning to use the Clarus 500. The color images are superb and
typically without artifacts.
The green FAF images, however, are not up to par as almost every picture
displays a series of dark concentric rings in the periphery along with uneven
illumination, nasally and temporally.
Because of our relative inexperience with this instrument, we don't know if the
cause is operator, patient, or equipment related. What do you think? How can we
eliminate these unwanted artifacts.
