Using the web camera
Some models are equipped with a Web Camera.
Web Camera is a device that allows you to record video or take
photographs with your computer. You can use it for video chatting or video
conferences using a communication tool such as Windows Live
Messenger. Camera Assistant Software will help you to add various
video effects to your video or photograph.
The Web camera enables the transmission of video and use of video chat
via the internet using specialized applications.
The effective pixel count for this web camera is 0.3 million and 1.0million
(0.3M maximum photograph size: 640X480 pixels; 1M maximum
photograph size: 1280 x 800 pixels).
Please refer to the Camera Assistant Software Online Help for details.

Please unstick the protective plastic-film before using the Web
Camera.
Do not point the web camera directly at the sun.
Do not touch or press strongly on the web camera lens. Doing so may
reduce image quality. Use an eyeglass cleaner (cleaner cloth) or other
soft cloth to clean the lens if it becomes dirty.
Setting the image “SIZE” to more than “800x600” will cause a larger
amount of data to be written to the hard disk drive and may interfere
with smooth recording.
