USER MANUAL QuickCam Pro for Notebooks LOGITECH

Thank you for purchasing your new Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, with an autofocus, glass lens system. This guide will help you install and get the best performance from your webcam.

2 Install the Software First

Install the software before plugging in the camera.

Many of your camera's extended features,

including autofocus, will not operate properly

without the complete software installation.

Insert the installation CD into your

CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. Your CD

should start automatically. If it does not, follow the steps below:

• Double-click the My computer icon. Alternatively, click Start My comp
• Right-click the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive icon, and then click Autopy.

3 Connect Your Camera to Your Computer

Wait until you are prompted by the software before connecting your camera to an available USB port on your computer.

4 Position Your Camera, Microphone, and Speakers

Your camera comes with Logitech RightSound Technology. RightSound Technology cancels echo and significantly reduces background noise. The following steps will ensure the best possible audio performance:

• Position your camera in the middle of your monitor for optimal eye contact.
• Position your camera's microphone no more than 3 feet (1 m) away from you and point it toward you.
• Position your speakers (if used) at least 12 inches (30cm) away from your microphone to reduce feedback, and then angle your speakers away from your microphone.

Tip Do not place objects between you and the microphone.

5 The Audio Tuning Wizard

The first time that you start QuickCam, you are guided through the Microphone/Speaker Setup Utility and Audio Tuning Wizard that lets you do the following:

• Select the audio input device (microphone) and audio output device (speakers).
• Enable Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)—recommended.
• Enable background suppression—recommended.
• Specify microphone input volume and speaker output volume.
  Test audio settings.

In situations with loud and irregular background noise, your voice can become distorted when using noise suppression. If this occurs, disable noise suppression in the QuickCam software.

Tip To change your audio settings in the QuickCam software, click the Settings button, and then click the Audio tab.

9 Ensure Quality Images

Logitech RightLight 2 ensures that you automatically get the best image quality in harsh, dim, or back lit conditions that usually cast a shadow on your face. When your camera determines that you are experiencing these situations, a dialog box appears asking if you want to turn on Logitech RightLight 2. Click Yes to let your camera automatically adjust frame rates, color, and exposure to produce the best image quality.

To manually adjust these settings, click the Settings button.

10 Using Autofocus

The autofocus system will ensure that images as close as 10 cm to the camera will be put in focus, automatically. If you wish to control the lens focus manually, switch to manual mode in "autofocus" controls on the Settings tab of the QuickCam software.
