Part 3: Installation and Use

3.1 Installation/Setup

Installation of the QuickCam Pro 9000 and QuickCam Pro for Notebooks webcams is a
simple process, and takes just a few minutes. The user's guide included in the product
provides clear step-by-step instructions. Here are a few additional suggestions for
reviewers:
•
Position the QuickCam Pro 9000 or QuickCam Pro for Notebooks webcam at the
top-center of your monitor so that the camera lens is close to the video screen,
improving eye contact.
•
For optimal performance, the built-in microphone should be approximately three
feet away from you.
•
Bend the flexible monitor clip to secure the QuickCam Pro 9000 and QuickCam
Pro for Notebooks webcam to your monitor.
•
Insert the supplied CD into an available drive and follow the on-screen
instructions.
•
Do not connect the cameras until prompted to do so by the installation software.
•
If the software installation process doesn't start automatically, from the Windows
Start menu, select Run and type in D:\setup.exe. (Where D: is the drive letter of
your optical drive. If your optical drive is assigned to a different letter, substitute
that letter in the run command.)
•
Be sure to complete the audio-tuning wizard that runs the first time you launch
the QuickCam software. This wizard helps you to adjust your speakers and
microphone for optimal audio performance.

3.2 Common Usage Scenarios/Examples

To fully appreciate the amazing image quality of the Logitech QuickCam Pro-series
webcams, please try these simple scenarios.
•
Record a video clip or take a photo. Open QuickCapture and click Take Photo
or Record Video. Notice how clear and detailed the images are. Notice how rich
the colors are.
•
E-mail a photo or a video clip. After you've recorded something, right-click on
an image in your gallery and send it to a friend or colleague. People can even
upload a clip to YouTube.
•
Adjust the image size. With QuickCapture open, click the drop-down menu just
to the bottom right of the image. You can take up to eight-megapixel still photos
and HD video (at 960 by 720 pixels).
•
To get the camera to perform at its best, your monitor resolution should be
at a minimum of 1280 by 1024 pixels. If you don't do this, when you set
QuickCapture to use HD resolution or higher, you may see some image artifacts
on your screen.
