Capturing AVI with WebCam Express
Now that you have WebCam Express software
installed, you can use it to capture short movies
called AVI video files or take JPEG snapshots. The
length of time you can record an AVI while the
camera is connected to your computer will vary,
depending on how much hard drive space you will
use to save the file. This is done through the
PhoTags WebCam Express program. Please note
that these AVI video files take up a lot of hard drive
space. This next section will walk you though
capturing an AVI file.
1. Double-click the “WebCam Express” icon that is
on your desktop to launch the “WebCam
Express” program. A webcam icon will appear
on the LCD screen of your camera.
2. Your camera now begins to function as a
webcam
3. Adjust your Camera/Webcam to the desired
position. The computer screen will display what
the Webcam “sees”.
4. To add audio to your video, plug a microphone
into your computer.
