2 Handling drivesDrives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautionsbefore handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply.CAUTION To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss ofinformation, observe these precautions:Before you move a computer or external hard drive from one location to another, initiate Sleep,and allow the screen to clear.Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the unpainted metal surface ofthe drive.Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the computer.Handle a drive carefully; do not drop a drive or place items on it.Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether thecomputer is off, in the Sleep state, or in hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it downthrough the operating system.Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay.Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while the optical drive is writing to a disc. Thewrite process is sensitive to vibration.When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently chargedbefore writing to a medium.Avoid exposing a drive to temperature or humidity extremes.Avoid exposing a drive to liquids. Do not spray the drive with cleaning products.Remove the medium from a drive before removing the drive from the drive bay, or traveling with,shipping, or storing a drive.If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protectivepackaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airportwalk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-onluggage, such as conveyor belts, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.2 Chapter 2 Handling drives ENWWAntenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/Vista textVista text

Click Take Picture.4. Follow the directions on the Picture wizard to select any of the following options:●Publish the pictures to a Web site.●Order prints of the pictures.●Save the pictures on your computer.Adjusting camera propertiesYou can adjust the following camera properties:●Brightness—Controls the amount of light that is incorporated into the image. A higher brightnesssetting creates a brighter image; a lower brightness setting creates a darker image.●Contrast—Controls the difference between lighter and darker areas on the image. A higher contrastsetting intensifies the image; a lower contrast setting maintains more of the original information’sdynamic range but leads to a flatter image.●Hue—Controls the aspect of color that distinguishes it from another color (what makes a color red,green, or blue). Hue is distinct from saturation, which measures the intensity of the hue.●Saturation—Controls the strength of color in the final image. A higher saturation setting creates abolder image; a lower saturation setting creates a more subtle image.●Sharpness—Controls the definition of edges in an image. A higher sharpness setting creates amore defined image; a lower sharpness setting creates a softer image.●Gamma—Controls the contrast affecting the mid-level grays or midtones of an image. Adjustingthe gamma of an image allows you to change brightness values of the middle range of gray toneswithout dramatically altering the shadows and highlights. A lower Gamma setting makes greys lookblack, and makes dark colors even darker.●White Balance—Controls the color temperature of the dominant light sources. This enables whiteobjects in the image to appear truly white. The white balance settings in the Properties dialog boxare displayed as WB (Red) and WB (Blue). A higher white balance setting increases theconcentration of the color (red or blue); a lower white balance setting decreases the concentrationof the selected color.●Exposure—Controls the relative amount of light that enters the camera sensor. A higher exposuresetting allows more light; a lower exposure setting allows less light.●Gain—Controls the intensity range, thus altering the color contrast of the image. A higher gainsetting stretches the intensity range; a lower gain setting shrinks the intensity.●Light Source—Controls the settings to adjust the camera exposure for the ambient light.●Flip—Reverses the captured image vertically.●Mirror—Reverses the captured image horizontally.10 Chapter 1 Using multimedia hardware ENWWAntenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
●Privacy—Turns off the capture function.●Low Light—Lowers the frame rate automatically in a poor lighting environment to maintain thebrightness of the captured image.The Properties dialog box is accessible from various programs that use the integrated camera, usuallyfrom a configuration, settings, or properties menu.ENWW Using the camera 11Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
