General Comments

I found my camera at a sears and got it at one hell of a price ($36.99) after x-mas sal., It is great for beginners and children. I use it for a web cam mostly but it is so small I can drop it in my pocket or put it in my glove box and take it anywhere. The built in menu can be troblesome when you need to make changes and it does not take very good pictures in low light, even with the flash on. But for the price I'm happy with all this product has to offer.

    I have this camera it is very good but can you tell me how you use it as a webcam with AOL Instant Messenger.

    To turn on the web cam function first you must have the drivers installed on your PC, if you have windows XP it will install them itself. If you have an older version of windows you have to intall the software that the camera came with. After doing that power up the camera and go into the menu. Then scroll down to SET UP, push the right arrow button on the camera. The scroll down till you find USB, push the right arrow button again, set the camera from CARD READER to PC CAMERA, confirm the setting by pushing the right arrow again. Now pulg the camera into your computer USB slot and you should be ready to go, if you have a modern version of AOL it will find the camera as a web cam and your all set when you go into live video mode, if not then you are on your own. To switch back to digtial camera mode you have to go back and undo every thing you just did. Try reading the owners manual that the camera came with, all this information is in there.
