Setting Up and Using Your Camera
The QuickCam
®
Express camera provides optimal eye contact when mounted on top
of your computer monitor. Try several positions before mounting the camera.
To get the most from your camera, follow these tips:
• Consider placing the camera in the middle of your monitor for optimal eye contact.
• To focus the camera, rotate the focusing ring (around the camera lens) back and
forth. View live video in
QuickCam software
to guide your adjustments.
• Did you know that you can place your camera on a tabletop, or hold it in your hand?
For a flat surface, simply move the camera from the monitor to the tabletop.
To hold the camera in your hand, simply pick it up, base and all, and point it at
your subject.
