Insert the CD into your CD-drive and follow instructions for installing "JamCam". If you also wish to edit the pictures, you can also choose to install PhotoDeluxe. You only need to do this once for each computer you will download the photos to.
| Taking photos with the camera |
1) On the back of the camera, there are two buttons. The left button is your on/off button and your select button. The right button circles through the menu options.
2) Turn on the camera by pressing the left button once. A display should appear in the screen, telling you the amount of pictures you still have to take.
3) There is also an icon of a battery on the screen. If the battery is shaded in, the power is full, when it is empty or flashing, you need to replace the battery.
4) When you press the right button, you will rotate through the menu options:
The first icon looks like a clock, but represents the timer. When you turn this feature on (by pushing the left button until the display reads "on"), push the shutter button and the camera will take a photo 10 seconds later.
The second icon is the flash: you can push the left button to select on, off, or auto.
The third icon is the changing resolutions: R1 allows you to take 28 phots, R2 (the default) only allows you to take 8 photos before downloading.
The fourth option is clear. When turned on, it will clear all the photos. You should only clear the photos after you have downloaded the images onto a computer or you are sure you do not want any of the photos you have taken.
| Downloading the photos from the JamCam camera |
1) Download the images by plugging in the USB cord into the camera and the computer. Alternatively, you can use the serial port plug, but USB is faster and the recommended option.
2) Open the JamCam software, select "Get Photo" and then "From JamCam."
3) Select the environment you took the photos (for classroom pictures, select "office" then click on "okay" at the bottom.
Note: For PC’s, you need to click the "select all" box and click on "download pictures". Then click "close" to see all of your thumbnails in one window.
4) All of your photos should show up as Thumbnails. Double click on an image in order to enlarge it. For each image, you can save the photo by clicking on the photo and selecting "save". If you do not save each image separately, they will not be saved on your computer.
5) After you are finished downloading your pictures and saving them, clear the pictures off of your camera.
6) If you wish to edit these images in PhotoDeluxe, open the PhotoDeluxe program, select file, then open, then find the location of your saved images (default is in the JamCam folder).
