Taking pictures
1. Unplug the USB cable from the camera.
2. Press the On/Off button on the camera.
The number of images you can take is shown by the Image counter on the LCD display.
See Figure 1-2 on page 1-3.
3. To change the mode of the camera, press the Mode button:
❑
Single snapshot
Select this mode if you want to take single snapshots instantly.
❑
Multiple snapshot
Select this mode if you want to take a series of successive snapshots.
If the interval is set to zero (using WebCam Go Control), a video sequence will be
created.
❑
Self-timer single snapshot
Select this mode if you want a snapshot to be taken after a specified length of time.
You can use this feature to take pictures of yourself.
❑
Self-timer multiple snapshot
Select this mode when you want a series of snapshots to be taken after a specified length
of time. You can create an AVI file out of these snapshots.
After pressing the Mode button, the LCD displays one of the following codes which
represents the current video setting for the mode:
• You can only turn on the
camera when it is
disconnected from the system.
• The counter value decreases
by one every time a picture is
taken. However, if there is
insufficient memory in the
camera, the counter drops to
“000” immediately.
• When the counter value
reaches “000”, you cannot take
any more pictures until you
have cleared the camera’s
memory by deleting existing
pictures.
• The Multiple snapshot mode
consumes more battery power.
• The camera turns itself off if it
is left idle after a specified
amount of time.
