Q. How do I take 3 continuous picture shots at once using my Model Shotz camera?
A.
1. Continuous shooting will only work if the camera is set to 2.0 Mega pixels. To do this make sure the mode dial located on top of the camera is set to the red camera. Press the 'ok' button to get a menu display. Select 2.0-mega pixels from the menu and press ok.
2. To select the continuous shooting mode simply press the timer button twice so you get a picture of a box coming up on the screen.

Q. When I plug my Model Shotz camera into my computer it says 'No camera detected'.
A.
1. If you have Windows 98 Install the drivers located on the Shotz CD-ROM. For any other operating system you do not need the drivers.
