INTRODUCTION
Overview
Your new digital camera delivers high quality, 2560 x 1920 resolution images using
a 5.25 Megapixel CCD imager. Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5” TFT
color image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in
detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting) conditions
and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that
your images turn out right.
The ViviCam 3930 uses Secure Digital (SD) Memory Cards for saving images and
movies. Even if the camera’s power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SD
Memory Card are not erased. Your SD Memory Cards can be used repeatedly.
Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable
(USB driver required for Win 98 and Mac OS 8.6). You can enhance and retouch
your images on your computer by using the provided editing software, or image
editing software that you may already own. You may share your images with your
friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website.
