Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind that will help you get the most from
QuickCam
®
Express.
Versatility. Whether you hold it in your hand, place it on your monitor, or put it on
your desktop, QuickCam Express pro ides flexibility. Placing the camera on your monitor
usually pro ides excellent eye contact. But holding the camera makes it possible for you
to mo e up close to objects.
Lighting. QuickCam Express works well with all types of room lighting. But for good
ideo quality, try not to place bright light (e.g., sunlight through a window) behind your
subjects. In harsh, contrasty light, you will appear too dark or your subject will lack detail.
Software Updates. The Logitech
®
Internet Update software automatically checks
the Logitech web site, determines whether you ha e the latest ersion of the
QuickCam software , and if an update exists, downloads the newer ersion for you.
To check for new software updates, click the Help button on the QuickCam software
Taskbar, then click “Check for Software Updates”.
Logitech
®
Web Site. When you get the chance, come and isit us on the Internet
at www.Logitech.com/cam. We ha e lots of information about new products, special
offers, and customer support. You can also register your product online. Simply click
the Globe button on the QuickCam software Taskbar.
