Using Your Camera
Camera Handling and Placement
The QuickCam
®
Traveler
™
is both a video camera and a hand-held digital camera,
which you can take anywhere. As a video camera, mount it on its swivel base,
or use SmartClip
™
, which comes with your camera, then connect the camera
to your computer via the USB cable. Place the camera on your computer monitor
for optimal eye contact. Try several positions.
As a still camera, simply unplug the USB cable and pull off the base. Take the camera
with you to birthday parties, special events, weekend outings, vacations, or virtually
anywhere. The camera holds up to 240 images in low resolution mode that you can later
download to your computer using the camera’s USB cable.
