Following are several short videos, which serve both as demo videos and/or training videos. Clicking the main links will play the movie in Flash mode (requires the latest version of Adobe Flash player). Pressing the button at the end of the link will download the video as a .avi file and should play in the "Windows Media Player". If they do not play in the Media Player, you can download the CamPlay application, which seems to work on all current versions of Windows (Windows 2000, XP, and VISTA). Clicking the minor links will display appropriate portions of the manual.
