1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Micro C@m. Using the latest innovations in technology the Micro C@m offers
fun, affordable and easy to use digital imaging.
Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read this guide and
familiarise yourself with your new Micro C@m. Your new Micro C@m will take 20 Hi-Res (High Resolution) or 80
Low-Res (Low Resolution) images, which you upload to your PC (Personal Computer) running Windows® 98SE,
Me, 2000, XP or Macintosh® running OS 8.6 - 9.2 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
You can also use your Micro C@m to capture not only snaps of your family and friends, but also video clips of
them in action.
Your Micro C@m can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection and microphone (not
supplied) you can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues, conferencing in real time.
Please note that your images are stored on your Micro C@m’s internal memory. When you have taken your
images, the Micro C@m will wait for 30 seconds and then automatically switch to Stand-by mode, which draws
a constant trickle of power from the battery. When the LCD display blinks, all stored images must have been
uploaded and saved as otherwise they will be lost.
