Now that you have your camera installed you can use it to capture short movies called AVI files that can
be saved directly to the PC. The length of time you can record an AVI while the camera is connected to
your computer will vary, depending on how much hard drive space you will use to save the file. Please
take note that these AVI files take up a lot of hard drive space. This is done through the PhoTags
WebCam Express program. This next section will walk you though capturing an AVI file.
1. Make sure that your camera is connected via the USB cable to your PC
2. Double-click the “WebCam Express” icon
that is on your desktop to launch the “PhoTags
WebCam Express” program.
3. Adjust your WebCam to the desired position. The screen will display what the WebCam “sees”.
