1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Storm C@m. Using the latest innovations in technology
the Storm C@m offers fun, affordable and easy to use digital imaging.
Although you probably want to get started right away, please take a few minutes to read
this guide and familiarise yourself with your new Storm C@m. Your new Storm C@m will
take 20 High Resolution or 80 Low Resolution (for CIF camera version) / 24 High Resolution
or 99 Low Resolution (for VGA camera version), which you upload to your PC (Personal
Computer) running Windows® 98SE, Windows® Me, Window® 2000, XP or Macintosh®
running OS 8.6 - 9.2 via the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
You can also use your Storm C@m to capture not only snaps of your family and friends,
but also video clips of them in action.
Your Storm C@m can also be used as a Web Cam. If you have an internet connection
and microphone (not supplied) you can chat face-to-face with friends and colleagues,
conferencing in real time.
Please note that your images are stored on your Storm C@m’s internal memory. When you
have taken your images, the Storm C@m will wait for 30 seconds and then automatically
switch to Stand-by mode, which draws a constant trickle of power from the battery. When
the LCD display blinks, all stored images must have been uploaded and saved as otherwise
they will be lost.
