INFO:
Camera requires 2.80 and comes with firmware update 2.82 on the Edit UMD. Use devhook to launch the UMD if u dont wanna update...

A CHOTTO_SHOT folder is created in the VIDEO and PHOTO folders making it easy to transfer the media to your pc.

Videos are 15 seconds long and are saved in your Album on the Edit UMD you can enter your album and convert your videos to Motion JPEG (It says they are converted to AVI but ther really convereted to Motion JPEG.) After converting it will then add your video to the CHOTTO_SHOT folder in the VIDEO folder.

You must have the Edit UMD to take pictures or video without the UMD you can to use the camera.

The Edit UMD is part English. The main things you need to know are in English but pretty much all the editing is Japanease but I got the hang of it very quickly and already remember what all the things do.

FEATURES:

HOW IT WORKS:

Again you need the Edit UMD to take pics or videos I myself thought you could just attatch and something would pop up on the XMB but no you have to use the UMD. Also using USB Connection does nothing it just says please connect a USB cable.

WHAT IT COMES WITH:

PSP Camera
PSP Camera Case (Hard Plastic)
Editing Software (Half Japanease, Half English. Kinda difficult if not familiar with Japanese.)
Software Manual (All Japanese)
First Step Guide (All Japanese)
Camera Attachment Instructions (Section for English

EDITED PICS:

VIDEO:

Heres a video sample. Photobucket changed the size so it looks fuzzy but on the PSP the videos seriously look really really good I was suprised at how good the video quality was.
