Hi Milton,

I just checked it out here on my desktop at work and my problem was precisely as you 

point out.  I read the instructions on page 23 previously but I obviously misunderstood the 

operational sequence - my bad.

Thank you for clearing that up - and for such a great program ! I'm going to enjoy this 

learning curve.

best,

Doug

Hi Doug;

The Flea2 uses Format 7 and indeed I can select FMT7 modes under

assume I am missing

something trivial here but a search of this forum and the help  

manual has not yielded an

answer.

It's actually decribed on Page 23 of the manual.

"Quote Begin

The "Camera ROI..." menu item allows you to specify a Region Of  

Interest on the Camera's CCD to image with. This item will only be  

selectable if the Camera Video Format: menu is set to a Format 7  

(i.e. FMT7) video format, the Format 7 mode you selected allows ROI  

and if the camera is not currently displaying video.

End Quote"

So my guess is that you selected Format 7, then clicked "Start Video"  

and then can not access the ROI menu item. What you need to do is  

select Format 7, select the ROI item, fill in the ROI area and then  

click "Start Video".

HTH..
