Getting to Know Your ViviCam 3710
Overview
Your new ViviCam 3710 delivers high quality digital-still images as well as short movie clips
using a 3 Megapixel sensor. With the optical viewfinder and built-in 1.5" TFT color LCD
monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. The camera adjusts
exposure and color balance automatically or lets you change these settings manually and
features a 4x digital zoom to increase your control over the pictures you capture. A Movie
Hotkey lets you switch rapidly between capturing movie clips and capturing photographs.
Memory is built in tothe camera so you can capture images and movie clips without installing a
memory card. Thememory card slot allows you to increase the storage capacity if you wish.
When you want to print out images, play movie clips to friends, post images on websites or
inside emails, images and movie clips can be downloaded from the camera to a computer
where you have the option of editing them using ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft
VideoImpression software provided.
