Tips for Taking Great Pictures and Videos

• Fill the viewfinder with your subject and hold the camera steady for extra time to prevent blurry images.
  • Make sure your subject fits within the crop marks in the viewfinder.
• Avoid subjects of extreme contrast that have both deep shadows and harsh highlights (e.g., when the sun is directly behind your subject).
• Avoid taking videos in very dim light; your video will be too dark.
• The flash range for your camera is between 3 and 7 feet (0.9 to 2.1 meters). Make sure your subject is within the flash range to obtain the best results.
• Obtain free software updates. Your Logitech ^® camera software automatically checks the Logitech ^® web site and downloads the newest version of the software.
• Share your pictures and videos! Download your pictures to the computer (see "Getting Your Pictures and Videos into the Computer"). To e-mail a photo or video, use the "Attach to an E-mail" button in the Gallery section of the software. For more information, refer to the online how-to guide or help system.
• Use your camera as a webcam. With your camera and software, do video instant messaging, video chat, or live video broadcasting on the Internet right from your PC. Simply connect the camera to your PC, and place the camera on your computer monitor or your desktop. Launch the Logitech ^® camera software. For additional information, refer to the online help system.
• Get more Information. Access the how-to guide and online help system. From within the Logitech ^® camera software, click the Help button. A drop-down list box displays. Select “View the How-to Guide” or choose “Contents and Index” to launch the help system.

7 Camera and Battery Warnings!

• Don't expose the camera to extremes of cold or heat. Operating temperature is between 32^ to 104^ F ( 0^ to 40^ C).
• Don't immerse the camera in water.
• Avoid touching the LCM window.
• Remember that when the camera is set to auto-flash, the camera batteries are drained more quickly.
• If the camera detects that its internal memory is defective for any reason, it will automatically re-format the internal memory. All stored images and videos in the camera will be lost.
• When the batteries are low, it's best to change them. If your batteries leak, use normal precaution and follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations.
• When replacing batteries, use alkalines. You may also use other battery types, such as rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. But do not mix battery types. Discard all used batteries according to the battery manufacturer's instructions.
• Exercise care when handling batteries. When batteries are misused, they may explode or leak, causing burns and personal injury. When you are not using your camera for long periods of time, remove the batteries and store them in a dry place at normal room temperature.
