How to Capture Images with oCam
Clicking the Capture button on the main screen of oCam immediately captures the screen within the recording area you have set. This feature is very useful when you want to save a precise snapshot of a specific part of the screen. Through oCam's intuitive interface, users can freely adjust the capture area in advance and take screenshots exactly as needed by selecting the full screen, a specific window, or a custom area. This flexibility is especially useful for document work, preparing presentation materials, or for IT professionals who need to record specific UI elements.
Once the capture is complete, oCam saves the image in PNG format by default, providing a sharp, high-quality result. PNG format supports lossless compression, so you can keep clear screenshots without any loss of image quality, and it is compatible with most image editing software and platforms. In the oCam settings menu, users can also change the save format to other types such as JPG or BMP, allowing them to balance file size and quality according to project requirements.
To check the captured image, click the "Open" button on the main screen of oCam. When you click this button, Windows Explorer opens automatically and shows the most recently captured file already selected. This feature helps users review and use captured images right away. Since it takes you directly to the folder where the file is saved through Windows Explorer, file management also becomes much easier.
oCam's capture feature is simple yet powerful, making it useful in a wide range of situations from everyday tasks to professional environments. For example, software developers can use it to record bugs or share UI designs, while instructors can use it to prepare teaching materials. In addition, through the oCam settings menu, you can change the save location to a custom folder or set file naming rules when capturing for more organized file management. In this way, oCam provides high-quality screenshots with simple controls and greatly improves work efficiency.

What to Do If the Sound Becomes Louder or Distorted When Playing Recorded Videos in PotPlayer
When playing a video recorded with oCam in PotPlayer, the sound may sometimes be different from the original recording or become distorted. This may be caused by PotPlayer's Normalizer setting. Below is a detailed explanation of how to disable the Normalizer setting so the original sound plays back as it was recorded.
To disable the Normalizer in PotPlayer's Preferences, follow these steps:
1. Run PotPlayer.
2. Open the Preferences window. To do this, press the F5 key on your keyboard, or right-click on the player screen and select 'Preferences' from the menu that appears.
3. When the Preferences window opens, click the 'Audio' category in the left menu, then go to the 'Normalizer/Reverb' submenu.
4. In the 'Normalizer/Reverb' settings, check whether the 'Use Normalizer During Playback' option is enabled. In most cases, this option is enabled by default.
5. Uncheck 'Use Normalizer During Playback', then click the 'OK' button to save the setting.
After applying this setting, PotPlayer will no longer automatically amplify the sound, so the original sound recorded with oCam will play back as it is.
Note: What is the Normalizer feature?
The Normalizer is a feature that amplifies the playback volume to match 0dBFS (decibels full scale). For example, if the original sound was recorded at -20dBFS, the Normalizer amplifies it closer to 0dBFS so it sounds louder. However, if the sound is amplified too much during this process, it may become distorted or crackle. The dB used here does not mean ordinary decibels (dB), but rather the dBFS unit used in digital audio environments.
By disabling the Normalizer, you can play back videos recorded with oCam while preserving the original volume and sound quality. If the sound still has problems, check PotPlayer's other audio settings, such as the equalizer or volume control, or review the recording settings in oCam.
