WARNING DoNOTlookdirectlyatthesunthroughyourbinoculars.

[. . . ] PC Camera turns the Imageview into a live "webcam"-although this may be of limited use due to its lack of close focus ability (and 8x magnification!) Set to match the AC power frequency (cycles) of your country. This ensures that stills and videos shot under fluorescent lighting appear normal.

The camera will be recognized as a USB mass storage device (if it is set to "STO" and not "PC"), which means no special drivers are required for all operating systems later than Windows 98 (Me, 2000, XP, Vista. ) Mac OS 9 and OSX are also compatible. If you have a PC running Windows 98, you must install the driver found on the included CD-ROM BEFORE CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO YOUR PC. If you have a computer OS as listed above that is USB mass storage compliant, a new disc icon will appear in Windows Explorer (under "My Computer") as a new "Removable Disc" after plugging in the USB cable from the Imageview. Mac users will see the new disc device appear on their desktop. Clicking on the new disc icon will show the contents, a folder named "DCIM. " The image folder inside this contains your photos, stored as JPEGs (. jpg file format). They may then be viewed, edited, renamed and saved using any photo or graphics software that accepts . jpg files. If you do not have software that will open . jpg files, you should install Roxio Photosuite 5 (Windows 98, 2000 or XP only) from the included CD-ROM. See "Software Installation" for instructions. After you have copied or opened and saved the photo files to your computers hard drive, you may disconnect the Imageview camera (NEVER disconnect the camera while files are still being transferred to your computer. ) Before disconnecting, you should "eject" or stop the "removable disc" representing the camera to avoid an error message (not necessary with Windows XP). See the following pages for full step by step instructions for downloading your photos to a computer. 10 ImageView 111211 1LIM draft. indd10 10 3/12/07 4:01:04 PM System Requirements (Minimum) OS: Windows® 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista (PhotoSuite 5 is not compatible with Vista) CPU: MMX Pentium® 200MHZ equivalent or faster (Pentium® III 500 MHz for PhotoSuite5TM) Memory: 32MB minimum (64MB recommended for PhotoSuite) SVGA video card w/2MB VRAM, 800x600 screen display, 16 bit High color 200 MB available hard disk space (if installing PhotoSuite) Internal USB Port Software Installation If you are using Windows 98, you must install drivers before connecting the camera to your PC. Insert the CD-ROM into your computer's CD drive; it will auto-run and the install screen will be displayed. Select "Install Driver", then follow the directions. After installation, restart your computer. Windows 2000, ME, and XP do not require drivers, as the camera uses the USB mass storage standard , allowing the photo files to be accessed as if they were stored on an external hard drive. For any Windows OS, if you are not already using photo editing software you prefer, you may install Roxio PhotoSuite® from the CD-ROM. If so, check the box that adds an icon to your system tray or taskbar. Then next time you finish transferring photos, you can click that icon first, and "Stop the USB Mass Storage Device" before disconnecting the camera. (On Mac computers, you should "eject" the "disk" that appeared on your desktop when the camera was connected. ) 1 ImageView 111211 1LIM draft. indd12 12 3/12/07 4:01:05 PM Transferring The Photos & Videos to Your PC continued 7.
