Smart Capture
41
The Smart Capture main window opens with a blue screen image, indicating that
there is no data input from a digital camera or camcorder. When you connect
your digital camera or camcorder to your system with an i.LINK cable and turn it
on, an image appears in the main window. Some cameras and camcorders need to
have a recording media inserted before an image can be displayed in the Smart
Capture window. Consult the manual supplied with your digital camera or
camcorder for more information.
