1-4 Installing WebCam Go
Figure 1-3 shows the buttons and LCD display on the camera.
You can only switch on the
camera when it is
disconnected from the system.
The counter value may
decrease by more than one
when the picture taken has
more details or colours,
resulting in a bigger file size.
In some cases, the counter
value may not decrease even
though a picture is taken.
