You can use your VCam Now to capture your favorite moments in pictures or on video.
The Hasbro Vcam Now is a portable digital camcorder that allows you to record video footage and take high-resolution digital pictures of your favorite moments. It also includes a flip-out LCD screen to play back your videos on-the-go without the need of a television set or monitor. The camcorder has been designed with simplicity and requires just a few minutes of attention to learn all of its functions.
Instructions
Preparing the Camcorder
1. Slide your VCam's battery door open and check whether or not the camcorder has a fresh pair of AA batteries. The Vcam Now has an automatic shutoff function that will keep you from using it if it detects a low battery charge.
2. Open the MMC/SD card flap open and insert an SD card if you wish to store your movies and photos on removable media. If the unit fails to detect an SD card, it will automatically store all media in an internal storage device.
3. Power on the unit by completely opening the LCD/Viewfinder flap and pressing the unit's power button. The LCD screen will turn on and indicate both the battery charge and the current shooting mode of the camcorder.
Recording Footage
4. Use the "Movie/Camera" button on the control panel--the array of buttons next to the LCD screen--to change the camcorder's shooting mode to "Movie." The movie camera icon on the LCD screen will indicate that the camera is ready to shoot video.
5. Adjust the frame--the image your camcorder's lens will capture--to your desired settings. You can use the "T" button on top of the device to zoom in, and the "W" button to zoom out.
6. Press the "Set" button, the large button found at the top of the camcorder, to start recording your video. Press the button again to stop recording and save your video.
Taking a Picture
7. Look at the LCD screen to make sure that the camcorder is in camera mode which will be represented by a picture camera icon. Press the "Movie/Camera" button on the control panel to change the shooting mode if the device is currently set to "Movie" mode.
8. Press the "Next/Quality" arrow button located on the control panel to set your preferred picture resolution. The higher resolution modes will require more memory space per picture to accommodate the extra detail.
9. Press the "T" or "W" button to zoom in or out to adjust the frame of the picture to your desired setting.
10. Press the "Set" button when you are ready to take your photo.
Playback of Video/Pictures
11. Press the "Mode" button on the control panel to enter playback mode. Here you will find multiple image stills of your recently-shot videos and pictures. You can choose to view a single frame at a time by pressing "T," or change it back to viewing multiple frames at once by pressing "W."
12. Use the up and down arrows on the control panel to scroll through the frames. Press the "Play/Pause" button to begin watching a selected video and press the button again to pause it. You can also press the "Stop" button to stop the video and go back to the gallery.
13. Delete any unwanted pictures or videos by selecting them in playback mode and pressing the "Delete" button on the control panel. The LCD screen will read "Delete One?" Press the "Set" button to confirm the deletion or the "Stop" button to cancel the deletion and return to the main screen.
