5 Using Your Camera
Camera Handling and Placement
The QuickCam
®
Traveler
™
is both a video camera and a hand-held digital camera,
which you can take anywhere. As a video camera, mount it on its swivel base,
or use SmartClip
™
, which comes with your camera, then connect the camera
to your computer via the USB cable. Place the camera on your computer monitor
for optimal eye contact. Try several positions.
As a still camera, simply unplug the USB cable and pull off the base. Take the camera
with you to birthday parties, special events, weekend outings, vacations, or virtually
anywhere. The camera holds up to 240 images in low resolution mode that you can later
download to your computer using the camera’s USB cable.

Using Your Camera
Camera Operating Modes
QuickCam
®
Traveler
™
has two modes of operation: DSC (digital still camera)
and PC-cam . Using either mode turns the camera on. Only the Off, or middle position
turns the camera completely off.
DSC Mode
Use DSC mode for taking pictures
away from your computer. Use the camera’s view
finder to frame your subject. QuickCam Traveler stores up to 240 images in low
resolution and 60 images in high resolution. All shots are stored in flash memory.
On the side of the camera, move the three-position mode switch to the
down position
(towards the camera icon), which corresponds to DSC mode.
QuickCam®Traveler™fits com-fortably in your hand
and goes where you do.
Just point and click! Later, connect the camera
to your computer to download images.
With SmartClip™, you can place
QuickCam®Traveler™nearly anywhere.
Just hook your camera to your flat
panel monitor and you’re ready
to go “live. “And SmartClip is ideal
for your laptop too.
To create natural eye-to-eye contact
while chatting live or making a video
e-mail, position QuickCam®Traveler™
on your monitor in a convenient location.
Attach the swivel base to the camera,
then plug in the USB cable to connect
the camera to your computer.

Using Your Camera
English
PC-cam Mode
Use PC-cam mode when the camera is connected to your computer and for all camera
operations involving your computer. These operations include the following:
• Taking still pictures and making videos using your PC and sending your pictures
and videos easily and conveniently over the Internet
• Chatting live over the Internet with anyone who has a video camera and an Internet
connection
• Broadcasting live on SpotLife
™
• Downloading still digital images, which were taken in DSC mode, from the camera
to your computer’s hard drive
On the side of the camera, move the three-position mode switch to the
up position
(towards the PC icon), which corresponds to PC-cam mode. The camera must be in this
mode for it to work when connected to your computer. When the camera is connected,
what the camera sees is displayed on your computer monitor.
Using QuickCam
®
Traveler
™
as a Digital Still Camera
Disconnect the Camera from Your Computer
Disconnect the camera’s USB cable from the computer’s USB port.
Put the Camera in DSC Mode
On the side of the camera, move the three-position mode switch to the down position
(towards the camera icon), which corresponds to DSC mode.
Choose a Resolution
As a still-image camera, QuickCam Traveler stores 240 images in flash memory at
320 x 240 pixels (Siff resolution) and 60 images at 640 x 480 pixels (VGA resolution).
To select resolution, press the Resolution button on the back of the camera.

Using Your Camera
Focus the Camera — DSC Mode
For taking pictures in the Digital Still Camera Mode, set the focusing ring on the camera
to the mountain icon. Sharp focus extends from two feet (61 centimeters) to infinity.
Use this setting for nearly all of your photographic needs whether the camera is being
used at your computer or away from it.
For macro photography, or for pictures of small objects (like business cards) at a very
close distance, move the focusing ring to the flower icon. At this setting, the camera can
take pictures of subjects about four inches or ten centimeters away.
When the focusing ring is between the flower and mountain icons, the depth of sharp
focus is
only about three feet, or one meter.
A warning LED on the back of the camera near the view finder will alert you when
the focus is not set in “mountain” mode.
Use the view finder to frame your subject.
Auto Exposure/White Balance
The camera has an auto-exposure function to determine proper exposure.
The luminescence and RGB values of five areas within the frame are calculated.
Based on these calculations, the camera adjusts exposure time, gain, and color to give
you an optimal exposure.
Note When taking pictures or making videos, avoid subjects of extreme contrast that
have both deep shadows and harsh highlights. These subjects are usually found
in back lighting situations (e.g., when the sun is directly behind your subject).
Taking Photos Away from Your PC in DSC Mode
1. Your camera needs to be disconnected from your computer’s USB port.
2. Make sure you have moved the three-position mode switch on the side
of the camera to the down position for DSC mode.
3. Make sure you have chosen a resolution setting by pressing
the Resolution button on the back of the camera.
4. For nearly all of your pictures, set the focusing ring to the mountain icon.
Do not use the flower icon for typical shots because you will get a blurry
picture.
5. Frame your subject using the camera’s view finder.

9
Using Your Camera
English
6. Press the Snapshot button. In a moment, the camera will be ready for your next
picture.
Note In the LCD window, the camera shows the number of pictures remaining ,
and counts down from 240 pictures (or 60 pictures in high resolution)
to zero.
Using the Self-Timer in DSC Mode
Delay your shots by ten seconds so you can get in the picture, or any time you are
concerned that pressing the Shutter Release might move the camera. Press the Timer
button on the back of the camera, a timer icon displays in the LCD window, then press
the Snapshot button. The camera waits ten seconds before taking a picture.
Deleting Pictures in DSC Mode
You can either delete the last picture taken or all the pictures held in the camera’s flash
memory.
To delete the last picture
1. In DSC mode, press the Mode button until “Del ONE” displays in the LCD
window.
2. Press the Delete button to erase the picture. To cancel the deletion,
press the Mode button until “Del ONE” disappears from the LCD window.

window.

Tips
English
7Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind that will help you get the most from
QuickCam®Traveler™.
Versatility. Whether you hold it in your hand, place it on your monitor, or put it on
your desktop, QuickCam Traveler provides flexibility. Placing the camera on your monitor
usually provides excellent eye contact. But holding the camera makes it possible for you
to move up close to objects.
Lighting. QuickCam Traveler works well with all types of room lighting. But for good
video 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 have the latest version of
the QuickCam®software, and if an update exists, downloads the newer version 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 visit us on the Internet
at www.Logitech.com/cam. We have 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.
