Reviewing Images by Connecting the Camera to a Computer
You can always unmount the entire camera from the tree and connect its
USB port to a computer-it will be recognized as a “removable disk”, without
the need to install any drivers or software. When using a PC (or Mac*) to
view photos (or video clips*), first connect the device to the computer with a
USB cable
(not included, available at most electronics/computer retailers)
that has a “Mini-B” USB plug on one end (camera) and a “Standard-A”
USB plug at the other end (computer). Then use commercial software
with an image browser feature, or an image browser included with the
PC’s operating system to view images saved on the SD card in the folder \
DCIM\100EK113. Each new image or video will be numbered incrementally
in order of the time it was captured (first four digits indicate month/day). For
example, you will see file names such as “09030001.JPG” or “09030001.
MP4”. Through the file format suffix you can distinguish whether the file is a
still photo (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .mp4).
*“.mp4” video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
The
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
supports 3 kinds of file system formats,
FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32. The default value is FAT16 to save photos and
videos. Here are some related notes:
• You don’t need to be concerned about the file system format of the
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
unless your equipment has problems
reading the SD card. If this happens, please format the SD card with
the
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
or in your computer first and then
insert the card into your
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
and try again.
• The default file system format of the
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
is FAT16, which most computers can read. If you format an SD card
for the
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
in your computer, you should
choose the file system format FAT16. Normally FAT16 is recommended
unless you have another image viewer that uses FAT12 or FAT32
format.
Deleting Photos or Videos
All files may be deleted from the card by using the Format parameter. (see pg. 21)
NOTE:
after formatting the card, the deleted files can’t be restored!
