Go!Cam

PSP-300 E

The PSP-300 E is a silver 1.3 megapixel camera, similar to cameras found in cellular phones. It can record video at up to 480×272 at 30 frames/s and take photographs at up to 1280×960. It requires Official Firmware 2.82 or later.

PSP-450x

On November 13, 2009, when Invizimals was released, it came bundled with a new, redesigned PSP camera, model PSP-450x, which is a 0.3-megapixel camera taking photographs at a maximum resolution of 640×480 and video at up to 480×272 at 30 frames/s. The PSP-450x requires Official Firmware 6.00 or later.

Editing software

The Chotto Shot camera comes with a UMD used to edit photos and video clips, though the UMD is in Japanese, so non-Japanese users who imported it might have difficulty using the software.

The Go!Cam camera does not come with a UMD but instead has an available download for it called Go!Edit. Go!Edit is a program that enables extended usage of the Go!Cam and includes features that enable pictures and videos to be edited. Go!Edit requires PSP system firmware of 3.40 or above to be used. Aside from English, the Go!Edit program is also available in Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French, Suomi (Finnish), Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish, and all the languages are packaged with the program itself.

The PSP camera can use firmware version 3.00 or higher to take photographs or videos with English on-screen instructions. Users can do so by selecting "CAMERA" under the "PHOTO" menu. Once taken, the photo or video will then be saved to the user's Memory Stick. Saved videos can be uploaded to the Internet from any wireless connection.

Video recording length

Go!Edit videos can only be taken for a length of 15 seconds and then edited; however, accessing the camera through the XMB menu means the video recording length depends on the size of the Memory Stick. Video quality can be changed, so the lower the quality, the longer the recording time and vice versa. Using the best quality setting (480×272 and Fine quality), one-and-a-half hours of video can be recorded on a 4 GB Memory Stick Duo.
