Operating the
camera Before operating your camera it will be necessary to prepare your computer to capture or pre-
view images on the computers monitor.
1. Point the camera at the subject.
2. Adjust the position and size of the subject.
While watching the preview window on the monitor, turn the camera slowly up and
down, left and right so the desired portion of the subject lies in the centre of the
monitor.
3. Adjust the Focus
While observing the preview monitor, turn the focus ring on the camera for the
clearest possible image. The minimum focus distance is 100 mm (about 3.9 inches).
Note:
•Avoid pointing the camera
directly into light sources
such as lamps, bright
windows, etc. Any visual
target in front of the light
source will become “back lit”,
and will likely appear as a
shadow, see the example
diagrams on the right.

Troubleshooting
If for some reason you do not see images on your computer monitor, check the settings on your
video capture device. If your capture device settings appear to be correct, and you suspect the
Colour Video Camera is not functioning, you can test the camera on your Television or VTR,
which may be equipped with a video input. Simply connect the camera to the video input, select
that input on the VTR or television monitor. You should see a picture from the camera. If both
procedures fail, please contact the store from which the camera was purchased.
