videos automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is
triggered by the PIR sensor’s detection of activity in the area it covers.
You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or
stop at the SETUP position first to change one or more settings, then move
the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the
SETUP
mode you can check and change the settings of the
Trophy
Cam
with the help of its built-in LCD (
or a monitor connected to the TV out
jack
). These settings, found in the SETUP Menu, let you change the photo
or video resolution, interval between photos, switch the time imprint on, etc.
Moving the power switch to the
SETUP
position will turn on the LCD display,
and you will see an information screen that shows how many images have
been taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc (
Fig. 3
, next page
).
NOTE: Always move the power switch from
OFF
to
SETUP
mode. It
is possible that the camera could lockup if it is switched from
ON
to
SETUP
mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to
OFF
and then
push it up to
SETUP
again.
SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions
As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, four of the keys below the LCD
have secondary, “shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to
SETUP
mode (but the
MENU
key has not been pressed):
•
Press the
UP
key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.
•
Press the
DOWN
key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.
•
Press the
RIGHT
key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful
for testing the camera-make sure you are in
SETUP
mode, press the
RIGHT
key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on
how the camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal
memory if no card is inserted). The “number of images taken” counter
on the bottom left of the LCD will increase by one. If the display
indicates “SD PROTECTED” when you press the SHOT key, switch
the camera OFF, remove the SD card and slide its protect switch off.
•
Press the
OK
key to replay (review or playback) photos/videos on the
LCD (119477 color viewer model only), or a connected TV monitor
(std. display models). See “Playing Back/Deleting the Photos/Videos”
(pg. 29)
for more details.
