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.
