2 Handling drives
Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautions
before 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 of
information, 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 of
the 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 the
computer is off, in the Sleep state, or in hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down
through 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. The
write process is sensitive to vibration.
When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently charged
before 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 protective
packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”
Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport
walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on
luggage, such as conveyor belts, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.

Using the S-Video-out jack
The 7-pin S-Video-out jack connects the computer to an optional S-Video device such as a television,
VCR, camcorder, overhead projector, or video capture card.
To transmit video signals through the S-Video-out jack, you need an S-Video cable, available from most
electronics retailers. If you are combining audio and video functions, such as playing a DVD movie on
your computer and displaying it on your television, you also need a standard audio cable, available from
most electronics retailers, to connect to the headphone jack.
The computer can support one S-Video device connected to the S-Video-out jack, while simultaneously
supporting an image on the computer display or on any other supported external display.
NOTE The S-Video connection provides a higher quality image than a composite-video
connection.
To connect a video device to the S-Video-out jack:
1. Plug one end of the S-Video cable into the S-Video-out jack on the computer.
NOTE If the S-Video-out jack on the computer is not accessible because the computer is
docked in an optional docking device, connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video-out jack on
the docking device.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the video device, as instructed in the user guide included with
the device.
3. Press the fn+f4 keys to switch the image between display devices connected to the computer.

Capturing and streaming video
To illustrate how each camera feature works, the following examples use specific software, not available
on all computers. Select Start > All Programs to locate the video software installed on your computer,
and refer to the individual program's online Help for further information.
Capturing video
You can capture video for playback at a later time. The following example uses MovieMaker software:
1. Select Start > Programs > Windows MovieMaker.
2. Click Capture from Video Device. The Video Capture Wizard opens.
3. Click the listing for the integrated camera from the list of available devices.
4. Check the microphone and camera settings, and adjust if necessary.
5. Click Next.
6. Select the file name and path where you want to save the video file, and then click Next.
7. Select the video settings, and then click Next.
8. Click Start Capture. When you finish recording, click Stop Capture.
9. Click Finish to save the video file and close the wizard.

Taking still photographs with the integrated camera
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Scanners and Cameras.
2. Double-click the listing for the integrated camera, and then click Next.
3. 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 properties
You can adjust the following camera properties:
●Brightness—Controls the amount of light that is incorporated into the image. A higher brightness
setting 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 contrast
setting intensifies the image; a lower contrast setting maintains more of the original information’s
dynamic 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 a
bolder image; a lower saturation setting creates a more subtle image.
●Sharpness—Controls the definition of edges in an image. A higher sharpness setting creates a
more defined image; a lower sharpness setting creates a softer image.
●Gamma—Controls the contrast affecting the mid-level grays or midtones of an image. Adjusting
the gamma of an image allows you to change brightness values of the middle range of gray tones
without dramatically altering the shadows and highlights. A lower Gamma setting makes greys look
black, and makes dark colors even darker.
●White Balance—Controls the color temperature of the dominant light sources. This enables white
objects in the image to appear truly white. The white balance settings in the Properties dialog box
are displayed as WB (Red) and WB (Blue). A higher white balance setting increases the
concentration of the color (red or blue); a lower white balance setting decreases the concentration
of the selected color.
●Exposure—Controls the relative amount of light that enters the camera sensor. A higher exposure
setting 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 gain
setting 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 ENWW
Antenna 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 the
brightness of the captured image.
The Properties dialog box is accessible from various programs that use the integrated camera, usually
from a configuration, settings, or properties menu.
