It's arrived, just today. A nice shiny new ToUcam Pro with the long exposure mod. Just connected it to the lappy and all is working OK.
Question 1: How does the long exposure mod work? i.e. do I need another bit of software? I have just been playing with vRecord in the standard software, but this doesn't seem to support long exposures. (I expect it'll be a while before I seriously try some long exposures... I'll start short and grow into it!)
Question 2: I've seen mention of an IR filter for the ToUcam. How important is it, and what benefits will it give me? I didn't order one when I ordered the camera 'cause I didn't know about it then (perhaps it just didn't click
).
Question 3: What other software should I get hold of? I have Registax (but I'm very low on the learning curve), Photoshop, and I've just downloaded the K3CCDTools but haven't installed it yet. Anything else?
BTW I have an Olympus OM adapter coming from Mogg Adapters which should be interesting to play with when I get it. I have a heap of Zuiko lenses...
