There should be an instruction manual lieing around that describes
most of the basics.  Briefly:

cd to root:digiview and "run digiview"

Use the 3-way (ABC) video switch and the monitor's "Video Mode" slide
switch to first get direct video displayed on the screen, so you can
frame and focus the picture.  (Put monitor in "comp" mode to view
video, RGB mode for Amiga).  In addition to focusing the lens, you can
also adjust the set screw on the top of the camera.

Switch back, and digitize a color to make sure everything is alright
(there are some electronic camera "controls" in the camera menu that
adjust things like aspect ratio that you'll want to play with).

At this point I should mention that arranging even lighting, without
glare, etc. it a key part of getting good results.

Digitize all the colors, rotating the color wheel apropriately.

You've now got a 24 bit image stored in memory.  Use "Display" to
produce a first cut image.  Play with the "display" menu controls to
get things "right."

Save out an IFF file in "playground:images" (?).

Now would be a good time to turn off the camera and put the lens cap
back on.

Use "left-amiga-key n" to switch back to a shell window, and type "run
vlt" to start up a terminal program.  The phone may need to be
manually adjusted to get the right serial mode (shift data puts you in
the right mode).  When you have 19.2Kbaud (ideally), X-25 mode, and
the right variety of stop bits, use the menu to dial the correct
internal number to get a PAD (700-7000 ?).  Connect to an athena
dialup machine, and use your favorite file transfer protocol to upload
the IFF file (Kermit may be the only one that works).

Then use the appropriate format changing programs to convert the IFF
file into something you can use.


Hope this is accurate and helps.  Feel free to post an amended version
near the amiga.
