Digital+Video+Camera

Use this page to share information about the digital video camera's:

Each school has recieved a DV Camera as part of the grant. Mansfield recieved two. The camera is a Canon ZR800 mini DV. In addition to using it for videotaping things, it could also be used to create vodcasts for posting lab videos to absent students. It could be used for video projects with English and drama classes. It could be used to create "how to" videos. I will be setting up a sign out routine for the cameras. If you'd like to learn more about them, let me know. Tom

The DV Cameras are ready for use. They require a tape and are very simple to use. You can use a USB cable to send the video to your computer and edit the video using Windows Movie Maker or imovie.

You also recieved a teacher web cam with your equipment. They are in a small brown box. Put the installation CD in the CD drive and run the installation for install webcam software. The first time you use the camera you may need to have the disc in to run more software, just see it through. To use, open windows movie maker, select video device and follow that through with the lenovo webcam. Don't be frightened by the webcam manual, the first section is in English and is 7 pages long. The remaining 100+ pages are a repeat in 12 languages, then warranty and support info. Let me know if you would like help with this. Great for creating video tutorials, vodcasts, movies, commercial projects etc.
