Creative Labs PC-Cam 300 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Process Cropping
Most digital cameras have an aspect ratio of 4x3.
35mm cameras have an aspect ratio of 3x2.
6x4 photopaper also has an aspect ratio of 3x2.
Therefore you don't get cropping when printing from 35mm film.
To make the picture fill out the 6 inches, the digital footprint has to be 6" by 4.5".
So .5 inches is removed in the process.
If you can find a processor that will print 5.333 x 4 on the 6 x 4 paper, there would be no clipping necessary.
Since you have Photoshop, you can crop the photo to a 3 x 2 ratio. That way you control what is cut.
I use Photoshop Elements and when I use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, I set Style to "Fixed Aspect Ratio" and Width to 3, and Height to 2.
Outdoor picture is all white
I found the same problem. I was able to solve it by adjusting settings as follows:
Go into 'Camera Settings' - top right blue button in video view.
You need the 'Camera Setup' tab.
Click 'Source' button.
Click 'Advanced Settings' tab.
'Banding filter' - check 'Outdoor'.
'OK' your way out.
Problems with a driver for PCCAM-300
That driver is compatible with WindowsXP. What is the error you're getting? If it's related to Windows logo testing, then you can just choose "Continue anyway", and install the drivers.
Lost my PC-CAM 300 software
PC-CAM Center application is only available on the installation CD. If you have lost it, then check with support if they have the CD available.
PC-Cam 300 no longer functions as a digital camera
Let's do a hardware reset on the player:
Press Snapshot button and Operational mode button simultaneously for more than two seconds this will delete all the files from the camera. A beep sound is heard when the memory is cleared and LCD displays zero.
This may get the camera working again.
