106 Adding New Data to the My Camera Window To add new data to the My Camera Window, you need to create the new data, save it to the computer and add that file to the My Camera window. Create New Data before Adding to the My Camera Window Start by creating the start-up image or sound and saving it to the computer. Creating a Start-Up Image Create an image using an image editing application program, such as ArcSoft PhotoImpression or Adobe Photoshop LE. Create the file in the JPEG format at a size of 320 x 240 pixels. Creating a Sound Record a sound using a sound recorder, such as SimpleSound, which is commonly bundled with Macintosh computers. Record the sound as a 11.025 KHz or 8.0000 KHz, 8 bit, mono sound and save it in the WAV format. Type Start-Up Sound Shutter Sound Operating Sound Self-Timer Sound Duration in Seconds 11.025 kHz 8.000 kHz 1.0 sec. or less 1.3 sec. or less 0.3 sec. or less 0.4 sec. or less 0.3 sec. or less 0.4 sec. or less 2.0 sec. or less 2.0 sec. or less • Please note that files not meeting the above criteria cannot be saved to the camera. • If you are using SimpleSound, which comes as a standard part of the Mac OS, you cannot save a sound file directly as a WAV file. First, record and save the sound with SimpleSound, then use a program such as ArcSoft VideoImpression to convert the sound into a WAV file. • To learn how to create a sound file, see the ImageBrowser Software User Guide (p. 4), a PDF file.
