• InfoBind is a copyright protection technology developed jointly by NTT, NTT East and Kobe Steel, Ltd. This technology has been applied to recording media that have a proper ID.

Videoconferencing Using PictureHello

■ What is videoconferencing?

Videoconferencing is a form of communication in which you can see a live image of the person you are calling as you converse in realtime. This explanation describes the use of the FinePixViewer PictureHello software, in which specific PCs communicate with each other (one-to-one communication) via the Internet.

■ Hardware and software required for videoconferencing

● A FUJIFILM camera equipped with the “PC Camera” function

● A PC with an Internet connection

✩ 56kbps modem connection or better or an ISDN connection ✩ An established service contract with an Internet service provider (ISP)

✽

Depending on your type of Internet connection and/or your modem connection speed, video quality may deteriorate and some frames may be lost.

✩ A sound card installed and speakers and a microphone connected to your PC

✽

PCs that do not have a sound card installed and speakers and a microphone connected can only be used to transmit images.

✽

For the best results, use headphones with an attached microphone.

✩ If your Internet connection is via a router or via a LAN (connecting machines on

the LAN to the Internet), you cannot use videoconferencing.

✩ If your PC and the other party’s PC are connected to the same LAN and you are

connected to the Internet via a router, PictureHello can be used between the 2 PCs. However, if there is a firewall between the LAN and external lines, the status of parties in the Address Book may be “Unknown” depending on the firewall settings, making calls to those parties impossible.

● FinePixViewer and NetMeeting 3.01 installed

● A completed FinePix Internet Service user registration

✽

When the user registration button [ ] is displayed on the right side of the FinePixViewer window, you must complete the user registration procedure. (See P.43.)

Take care when using your own e-mail address. Disclosing your e-mail address to people other than those you wish to call could result in unintentional and unnecessary videoconferencing calls from third parties.

Downloading MP3 Files

1. Check that the Audio Downloading Software is running. If it is not running, click the ADS button in the MacMP3 player to start it up.

The tracks could not be downloaded because there was insufficient free space on the SmartMedia. There are 3 ways to overcome this problem:

• Download the tracks to another SmartMedia with sufficient free space.

• Download the tracks to a SmartMedia with a larger capacity.

• Select tracks displayed in orange and delete them. ✽Simply stopping the download does not erase the tracks on your Macintosh.

• Launch FinePixViewer and delete some unwanted images on the

SmartMedia.(/P.87)

• Select tracks displayed in pale blue and delete them. ✽The tracks on the SmartMedia are erased.
