Your Ziggi-HD has been shipped with a minimum of packaging materials, particularly a minimum of plastic. The plain craft paper box (which does not contain high-resolution graphics or wasteful multi-color printing) is recyclable, as are the cardboard cut-outs keeping the Ziggi-HD in place. -

Page 14: Getting A Great Image - Five Considerations
Getting a Great Image – Five Considerations Getting a Great Image – Five Considerations When configuring the camera for your desired image, you will be chiefly concerned with the following five elements: • Image size - How large or small the subject appears in the frame (i.e. the window of the Ziggi- HD software). -
Page 15: Image Size
When capturing a document, you will likely position it on the tabletop, on the same plane as your Ziggi-HD base. When capturing close-up details or text passages from a document, you may find it handy to shift the document as you move from detail to detail, essentially scrolling through the text as necessary. -
Page 16: Image Size (Cont'd)
Note that while the Ziggi-HD has ample resolution to capture larger A3-sized paper, Ziggi-HD would need to be placed on something (such as a stack of books) to make the camera high enough to completely capture an A3 document. -
Page 17: Image Orientation
Illustration of Landscape versus Portrait Camera Lens Orientation The top of the Ziggi-HD camera lens is located 90° counterclockwise from the square top of the camera body. With the camera head in its fully-extended position, documents will need to be placed perpendicular to the camera stand (as opposed to parallel) for text to be rendered “right side up”... -
Page 18: Changing Orientation
Ziggi-HD's camera head is expressly designed to give you an easy way to alter orientation. From its fully-extended position, Ziggi-HD can be swiveled 180° clockwise and 90° counterclockwise. Find the position that works best for yourself and your subject. For example, if you are giving a presentation and need access to the subject for a hands-on demonstration or to frequently change its position, you might consider moving the stand to one side of the subject—and changing... -
Page 19: Exposure
Consider the following methods to achieve optimal exposure for your image: • Change the exposure in the room : This could include using a desk lamp near the Ziggi-HD to shine additional light on the subject, turning on room lights, opening or closing curtains, etc. -
Page 20: Exposure (Cont'd)
• To Turn on Auto Exposure: Click the Auto tab in the Presenter software, and select “On.” The sun icon next to Auto will turn green. Ziggi-HD will now constantly determine the optimal exposure for your image, and may adjust exposure at any time. -
Page 21: Focus
Ziggi-HD in Continuous mode will ensure your image is always in sharp focus. Single (S) mode: In Single mode, Ziggi-HD will stay at a single focal length, and will not try to constantly adjust itself. This mode is ideal for manual control of focus. If you are capturing a text document laid on the table which is not moving, single mode will be sufficient for sharp focus. -
Page 22: Resolution
(and therefore more detail), and also consume more computing power. Low resolutions communicate less detail but are also less demanding of computer resources. Resolution is measured in pixels, the smallest part of a picture element. Ziggi-HD is capable of several high-definition resolutions. Changing Resolution To change resolution, click on the Resolution tab in Camera mode. -
Page 23: Snapshots
The Timer provides a delay (in seconds) between the time you press the Snapshot button and the time when Ziggi-HD actually takes the snapshot. You might find this delay necessary to avoid any shake in the camera body that could result in a blurry image. Using the Timer eliminates this possibility. -
