Settings for the FC-2600
Some settings in the FC-2600 can be changed easily while others are
more complex and should be left to the programmer. Depending on
your application, things such as resolution, key controls, and options
to save may already be set up for you (pre-programmed).
Getting Started
Unlike conventional digital cameras, the FC-2600 does not have a
menu system that allows users to directly change camera options,
such as shutter speed and aperture. Because the FC-2600 is a
computer capable of taking pictures, camera functionality is
integrated into an application via eyeware.
Eyeware is an API that enables an application to communicate with
the FC-2600 to take and store pictures. One component of eyeware
enables you to do the following:
• Store different camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, etc.)
• Store picture information
• Key press functions in configuration files that you can load from
your application to take a picture.
When you start eyeware, a configuration file is loaded. This activates
the keys on the FC-2600 or you can use the buttons from your
application to activate camera functions.
You don’t have to write an application to take pictures just yet. Pre-
programmed applications within eyeware Setup allows you to take
pictures until you are ready to take your own.
NOTE

save your settings, refer to the
