FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

A The camera 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 camera. 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).

Q After inserting the installation CD, the autorun program doesn't work in Windows Vista or 7. How do I get the camera to install?

A This is an issue involving how these two operating systems handle the autorun.exe file. To install the software and drivers, you'll need to manually open the disk.

1. Right-click the My Computer icon and select "Explore."
2. Browse the CD drive and right-click the setup program.
3. Select "Run as administrator"; the installation will begin.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
