Operating the

camera Before operating your camera it will be necessary to prepare your computer to capture or pre-

view images on the computers monitor.

1. Point the camera at the subject.

2. Adjust the position and size of the subject.

While watching the preview window on the monitor, turn the camera slowly up and

down, left and right so the desired portion of the subject lies in the centre of the

monitor.

3. Adjust the Focus

While observing the preview monitor, turn the focus ring on the camera for the

clearest possible image. The minimum focus distance is 100 mm (about 3.9 inches).

Note:

•Avoid pointing the camera

directly into light sources

such as lamps, bright

windows, etc. Any visual

target in front of the light

source will become “back lit”,

and will likely appear as a

shadow, see the example

diagrams on the right.

Troubleshooting

If for some reason you do not see images on your computer monitor, check the settings on your

video capture device. If your capture device settings appear to be correct, and you suspect the

Colour Video Camera is not functioning, you can test the camera on your Television or VTR,

which may be equipped with a video input. Simply connect the camera to the video input, select

that input on the VTR or television monitor. You should see a picture from the camera. If both

procedures fail, please contact the store from which the camera was purchased.
