This instruction manual is for users of the TRUST SPYC@M 300. This camera can

as a webcam for videoconferencing.
2 Safety
2.1 General information
Carefully read the following instructions before use.
-The TRUST SPYC@M 300 does not require any special maintenance. Use a
slightly damp, soft cloth to clean the camera.
-Do not use aggressive substances, such as white spirit, to clean the device.
These may harm the material.
-Do not submerge the device in liquid. This may be dangerous and will
damage the device. Do not use this device near water.
-Do not repair this device yourself.
2.2 Batteries
1. The alkaline batteries supplied with the camera are not rechargeable. Do
not try to recharge them, because this may cause them to explode.
2. Never throw the batteries onto an open fire. The batteries may explode.
3. Never drill holes into the batteries.
4. Keep the batteries out of the reach of small children.
5. Only use AAA alkaline or rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries with this
camera.
6. When the batteries are empty, ask your local authority where you can
dispose of them.
Note: Standard NiCd batteries are unsuitable for use with this camera.
Note: When the batteries are low or empty, all the photographs you
wish to keep should first be downloaded onto your computer and
saved before the batteries are replaced. All the photographs will
be deleted from the camera’s memory when the batteries are
replaced.
Note: Do not use old and new batteries at the same time, because the
old batteries may deplete the new ones.
Note: The batteries should be removed if the camera is not going to be
used for some time. This will save the battery capacity.

Table 2: LCD display
The various functions can be selected using the menu button (7, figure 1). See the
following chapters for instructions on how to use the various functions.
3.4 Setting the resolution
Two different photograph qualities can be selected, namely the high resolution and
the low resolution.
In the low resolution, photographs are taken in a resolution of 176 x 144 (24-bit
colour). A maximum of 320 photographs can be taken in the low resolution. In the
high resolution, photographs are taken in a resolution of 352 x 288 (24-bit colour). A
maximum of 80 photographs can be taken in the high resolution. Carry out the
following to select the resolution.
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the menu button (7, figure 1). Release the
menu button once the LCD screen is turned on.
2. Use the menu button (7, figure 1) to select the “Hr” option (high resolution) on
the LCD screen. If this option is not displayed, then the camera has already
been set to the high resolution. Only “Lr” (low resolution) will then be
displayed.
3. Activate the chosen option by pressing the exposure button (2, figure 1).
3.5 Taking a photograph
Follow the instructions given below.
1. Turn the camera on by pressing the menu button (7, figure 1). The LCD
screen on the rear of the camera will turn on and the camera will be ready
for use.
2. Look through the viewfinder (6, figure1) for a subject that you wish to
photograph and keep it in view for a couple of seconds before taking a
photograph.
3. Press the exposure button (2, figure 1) to take a photograph.
4. Repeat the instructions from point 2 if you wish to take more photographs.
5. See chapter 6.1.1 for instructions on how to save the photographs on your
computer. If the camera is not used, it will turn off automatically after 30
seconds.
Note: The quality of the photograph depends on the amount of light. The
more light, the better the quality of the photograph.
Note: The number of photographs that can be taken depends on the
number of colours and the brightness of the object to be
photographed. A photograph of a colourful, bright object requires more
memory than a photograph of a dark object in dark surroundings.
Note: Keep the glass of the lens clean so as not to affect the quality of the
photographs. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cotton bud to clean the lens.
NEVER use (aggressive) cleaning products.
Note: The image viewed through the viewfinder may be slightly different to
what is recorded through the lens.
Note: Do not touch the lens. Touching the lens will affect the quality of the
photographs.

3.6 Recording a video clip

screen on the rear of the camera will turn on and the camera will be ready for

computer. If the camera is not used, it will turn off automatically after 30
seconds.

3.7 Using the automatic exposure
The automatic exposure gives a time delay of 10 seconds from the moment the
exposure button is pressed to the moment when the photograph is taken.
The automatic exposure can be activated by pressing the menu button (7, figure 1)
until the letters “St” are displayed on the LCD screen.
Next, press the exposure button (2, figure 1).
The automatic exposure is automatically turned off after the photograph has been
taken.
The automatic exposure must be re-selected each time you wish to use it.

are displayed on the LCD screen.
The exposure button (2, figure 1) must be pressed to delete the photographs. The
letters “CL” will now flash.

4 Installing the camera
4.1 Uninstalling old drivers and devices
The most common cause of faults during installation is the presence of a driver for a
similar, old device. The best solution is to first remove all drivers related to old
devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you only delete programs for old,
unused (similar) devices.
1. Enter the Windows ‘Safe Mode’ (press F8 when starting Windows and then
select ‘Safe Mode’ from the menu which will be displayed).
2. Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on the
‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon.
3. Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on
the ‘Add/Remove’ button. When in the ‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some
programs to appear twice. In that case, remove all the programs which
appear twice.
4. Restart the computer.
