Frequently Asked Questions - 460477 MANHATTAN

How do I install the webcam?

Plug the webcam into a USB port. It is plug-and-play, so no driver installation is required on most systems. The camera will be recognized automatically.

Why is there no image from the webcam?

Ensure the webcam is properly connected and not blocked by tape or covers. Check if the USB port works with another device. Also, verify the webcam is selected in your video application's settings.

The microphone is not working. What can I do?

Make sure the webcam is set as the default recording device in your system's sound settings. Check the mute button or volume level. If the issue persists, try a different USB port.

How can I improve the image quality?

Ensure proper lighting – avoid backlight. Clean the lens with a soft cloth. Adjust settings in your video app, such as brightness and contrast.

Is this webcam compatible with video conferencing software?

Yes, it works with most applications like Zoom, Skype, and Teams. The webcam is recognized as a standard USB camera.

How do I clean the webcam?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens and body. Avoid liquids or abrasive materials. Do not use household cleaners.

The LED light is not on. Is it normal?

The LED may only light up when the camera is active. Check if the camera is being used by an application. If still off, try reconnecting the USB.

Can I mount this webcam on a tripod?

The webcam has a standard tripod screw hole at the bottom, so it can be mounted on most tripods.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty details vary by retailer. Typically, Manhattan offers a limited one-year warranty. Check your purchase documentation.

Why is the video blurry?

Blurry video can be due to low light, dirty lens, or incorrect focus. Ensure good lighting and clean the lens. This webcam has a fixed focus, so adjust distance to subject (about 30 cm to 2 m for best results).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q What can be done to rectify a dropped frame or video lag?

A The Mega Cam automatically activates White Balance and Exposure (both displayed on the Auto Mode Control panel of the Settings screen) when lighting is determined to be insufficient. If continuity or delay problems occur, deselect the "Auto" option for Exposure.

Q When using MSN, why isn't my voice heard?

A The built-in microphone probably isn't activated. Check the “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties” folder in the Device Manager or Control Panel and make sure that “USB Camera” is elected as the Default Device drop-down menu option in the Sound Recording panel. You can also make sure that your Instant Messenger software is defaulted to recognize the Mega Cam. Also, confirm that the other IM user has the same software version and not one that’s incompatible.

Q How do I take 1.3-megapixel snapshots?

A In the AMCAP application, go to Options, then Video Capture Pin to display the Stream Format screen. In the Output Size field, select "640 x 480" (VGA). Then return to Options and go to Video Capture Filter. In the Image Control panel, set the VGA/SXGA slide bar to "SXGA" (all the way to the right, which equates to 1280 x 960 pixels).
