ONTENTS

The View Window is capable of displaying the live video in a

number of different ways.

Photo/Video Mode

Click the Video or Photo icon to switch between Video or Photo
mode. The album displayed will contain numbered video or photo
thumbnails (depending on which mode you are currently in).

Photo/Video Album Scroll Arrows 

  

A lit arrow means that there are more Photo/Video Thumbnails in

the direction indicated.  An unlit arrow means that there are no
thumbnails in the direction indicated.

The most important part of ViewFun are the controls. These but-

tons allow you to control ViewFun’s functions.

Record Video

In Video Mode, clicking here starts the recording of a video clip

(.AVI file) and sends it to the Video Album as a numbered Thumb-
nail.

Stop

The Record button turns to the Stop button once recording has

begun, allowing you to stop the recording of a video clip and store it
in the Video Album as a numbered Thumbnail.

Note: This button also stops the capturing of images if Auto Snap
(Advanced Settings Photo Tab) has been executed.

Take a Picture

In Photo Mode, clicking this button captures an image (1 frame)

and sends it to the Photo Album as a numbered Thumbnail.

Note: If Auto snap has been selected, clicking this button will take a
series of images and store them in a predetermined destination.

Print

Clicking this button captures whatever image is in the View Win-

dow and prints it directly to the printer.

Note: This function does not work with a video clip.

Help

Clicking this button accesses the complete ViewFun on-line help

system.

Exit

Clicking this button exits ViewFun.
