It has the capacity to capture either 20 pictures at 352 x 288 pixels each, 60 compressed images, 81 QCIF images at 176 x 144 pixels each, 243 compressed QCIF images, or 10 seconds of video footage. It weighs 11 ounces, measures 2.3 x 0.6 x 1.6 inches, comes in a variety of colors, and is packaged with a AAA battery, an install CD, a USB cable, and a key chain.
Instructions
1. Open the battery chamber by turning the camera upside down and pushing the compartment open with your thumb. Insert one AAA battery in accordance with the battery polarity indicators. Closet the battery chamber.
2. Turn the power on by pressing the Mode button (located on the front of the camera to the left of the LCD screen). The camera will automatically power down to stand-by mode if left untouched for 30 seconds. Push the Mode button again to wake it up.
3. Check the LCD screen (located on the front of the camera) to see how many pictures you have left. The camera is capable of taking 20 pictures. If the LCD screen is not displaying a number, press the Mode button until it does.
4. Slide the Viewfinder switch (located on the left side of the camera) over to release the viewfinder at the top of the camera. Compose your image through the viewfinder and hold the camera body still as you depress the shutter release button (located on the top right side of the device). When the image is captured, the camera will beep once.
5. Press the Mode button repeatedly to access several functions: ST (Self-Timer), CT (Continuous Shooting Mode), CP (Compress Mode), NP (Non-Compress Mode), AL (Video Function Mode), CL (Delete Last Photo), CA (Delete All Photos), HR (High Resolution Format, and LR (Low Resolution Format).
6. Activate the Self-Timer by selecting ST while going through Modes. Depress the Shutter Release button to lock the mode and begin the countdown of 10 seconds before the picture snaps. Afterwards, the camera will go back to its regular mode.
7. Install the AvailaSoft software and camera driver (supplied) to transfer images from your camera to your computer. The install window will automatically pop up after the CD has been inserted. Follow the prompts until install is successful. Attach the USB connector to the camera and to the computer. Open the MyCam progam, click Yes to view thumbnails of your pictures, select the pictures you want to upload, and click save.
