Taking Pictures
• You can only turn the camera on when it is disconnected from the computer.
• The camera turns itself off if it is left idle after twenty seconds.
1. Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from the camera.
2. Turn on your camera by pushing the
Power
switch downwards. Your camera beeps once. The number of images avalable is shown on the image counter on the LCD.
3. Press the
Mode/Delete
button to select the image size.
4. Aim the camera at the desired object.
Note:
The object should be at least 60 cm (24 inches) from the camera.
5. Hold the camera steady and press the
Snapshot
button.
The picture taken is stored in the camera’s memory, and the counter value decreases accordingly, depending on the resolution of the picture taken.
6. To take another picture, repeat steps 3 through 5.
7. To turn off the camera, push in the
Lens
button.
• To view pictures that you have taken while using the camera on-the-go, you must connect the camera to the computer and download the pictures using Creative CardCam
Photo Album.
• As JPEG compresses an image according to its details, colors and compression ratio, the file size varies according to the picture taken.
• The counter value normally de creases by one after a picture is taken. However, depending on the quality of the picture, the counter value may also de crease by two, or not at all.
Using Creative CardCam 3-3
Tips on Taking
Good Pictures
Here are some tips for taking a good picture.
❑
Bright lighting
Avoid taking pictures with bright light sources all around the object. These lights will create “hotspots,” which will affect the quality of the picture.
❑
Bad lighting
When indoors or outdoors, be sure there is enough light falling onto the object.
Avoid taking pictures of objects in shadow, especially when the light source
(for example, sun or spotlight) is directly behind the object.
❑
Distance
This camera is focus free but be sure the minimum distance between camera and object is not less than 60 cm (24 inches). Any closer, and the close-up images may appear blurry. Fill the viewfinder with the object.
❑
Moving objects
Fast-moving objects may appear blurry in your picture.
Unless a blurry or out-of-focus effect snapshot is intended, avoid taking fast-moving objects.
❑
Camera shake
Shaking the camera while taking pictures may also result in a blurry picture.
So keep your hands steady at all times for sharp, clear pictures.
To avoid shaking the camera, gently squeeze the
Snapshot
button.
If necessary, use both hands to hold the camera while pressing the
Snapshot
button.

Note on USB Compatibility
Note on USB Compatibility
To look for a USB compatible product, you can visit the product search page at the official USB Web site:
http:// www.usb.org/app/ search/products
.
While testing Creative CardCam on PC motherboards with integrated Universal
Serial Bus (USB) ports, we encountered a small number of motherboards that do not meet the USB specification exactly. These and other non-USB-compliant motherboards may not operate correctly with Creative CardCam. Fortunately, the manufacturers of some of these motherboards have released new versions of motherboards or BIOS to address the problem.
If the setup program warns you that your motherboard’s USB port is incompatible with Creative CardCam, or if the camera does not work on your system and you suspect that the problem may be related to your PC’s USB port, the following is a list of available options:
1. Contact your PC vendor.
Your PC vendor may be able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS to a newer version that addresses USB incompatibilities.
2. Use a PCI host adapter that provides USB connectors.
If you are not able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS, we recommend this approach.
3. Attach the Creative CardCam to a powered USB hub.
Some USB devices (such as monitors) also operate as powered USB hubs; you can also buy dedicated powered USB hubs which are to be attached to your PC’s
USB port. However, in some cases, attaching a powered USB hub to a non-USBcompliant USB motherboard connector will not solve the problem.
