Getting to Know Your ViviCam 3710

Overview

Your new ViviCam 3710 delivers high quality digital-still images as well as short movie clips

using a 3 Megapixel sensor. With the optical viewfinder and built-in 1.5" TFT color LCD

monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. The camera adjusts

exposure and color balance automatically or lets you change these settings manually and

features a 4x digital zoom to increase your control over the pictures you capture. A Movie

Hotkey lets you switch rapidly between capturing movie clips and capturing photographs.

Memory is built in tothe camera so you can capture images and movie clips without installing a

memory card. Thememory card slot allows you to increase the storage capacity if you wish.

When you want to print out images, play movie clips to friends, post images on websites or

inside emails, images and movie clips can be downloaded from the camera to a computer

where you have the option of editing them using ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft

VideoImpression software provided.
