• Are the batteries inserted with correct polarity and is their power level
sufficient?
• Does the SD card have sufficient available space and is its write-
protection (lock) switch off?
• Is the Power switch in the ON position? (do not leave it in AIM).
PLAYING BACK/DELETING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS
After you have setup, mounted and activated your
Prime L20 Trail
Camera
, you will of course be eager to return later and review the
images it has captured for you. There are several different ways this
can be done.
Reviewing Images Directly From the SD Card
This is the most popular method of viewing images. Since unmounting
the camera and taking it to your computer isn’t very convenient, you
may find it easier to just take the card out. By removing the SD card
(swapping it for a new empty card if you like) and taking it to your
home or campsite to view the images by using an SD card “reader”
(user supplied) connected to your computer (some computers and TVs
have a built in SD card slot), you can leave the camera in place ready
to capture more images. Once connected, the card reader works the
same way as described below- please read that section if you have any
problem finding your files.
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 “Micro-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\100EK001. Each new image or video
will be numbered incrementally in order of the time it was captured
(first four digits are the same “DCIM”). For example, you will see file
names such as “DCIM0001.JPG” or “DCIM0001.AVI”. Through the file
format suffix you can distinguish whether the file is a still photo (with
suffix .JPG) or a video (with suffix .AVI).
The
Prime L20 Trail Camera
supports 2 kinds of file system formats,
FAT16 and FAT32. The default value is FAT32 to save photos and videos.
