5. After you finish setting the Stop minutes, press
OK
to confirm your
settings for the first block of Field Scan recording. If desired, you can
create a second block of time by pressing the
DOWN
key to select "B"
(Step 4)
, then press
OK
and follow the same process to set Start and
Stop times for Field Scan block "B"
(Step 5)
. As an example of how you
might use these two available time blocks, you could setup Field Scan
time block "A" for the dawn hours from 6 AM to 8 AM, and block "B"
to capture images between 5:30 and 7 PM. No Field Scan recording
would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM.
6. After setting Start/Stop times to define Field Scan block "A" and/or
"B", press
OK
, then press the
UP
or
DOWN
key to select "Interval"
and press
OK
(Step 6)
. The Field Scan "Interval" setting lets you
control how often a photo or video clip is recorded during the block(s)
of time you defined with the Start and Stop settings. Your options are
60 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes (this is the default), or
1 minute (still photo mode only). Use the
UP/DOWN
keys to select
your preference, then press OK to save it
(Step 7).
Note that for videos,
"Interval" is independent of the Length of each video recording-it’s
how often
videos are recorded, not how long each one lasts.
7. Here’s an example of how the camera would operate, based on the
following Field Scan settings:
Field Scan:
On
Field Scan A:
[Start]:
6:00
[Stop]:
8:00
Field Scan B:
[Start]:
17:30
[Stop]:
19:00
Interval:
15M
These settings would cause the camera to capture a photo (or video,
if the camera is set to that mode) once every 15 minutes, beginning at
6 AM, until the Field Scan "A" recording block stops at 8:00 AM. Later
that day, the camera would again take a photo or video every 15 minutes
between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM (during Field Scan time block "B").
The next day, the camera would again record an image or video once
every 15 minutes between 6:00 and 8:00 AM, and between 5:30 and
Note: avoid any "overlap" of Field
Scan A & B recording blocks when
setting their start and stop times,
to assure correct operation.
