How to Use a Vivitar ViviCam 4100
The Vivitar ViviCam 4100 digital camera captures high-resolution images and videos and stores them to a memory card for later use. Image quality ranges up to 4 megapixels in JPG (Joint Photographic Group) or MPG (Moving Picture Group) format. Once you obtain your camera, you might have questions about its basic operation. Before shooting special events, experiment with your camera, so that you can learn it inside and out and shoot confidently.
