A "click" sound indicates that the card is installed
successfully. If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you
will not be able to insert it without force, there is only one
correct way to insert cards. If the SD card is not installed
correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on the
screen in SET mode
.
Formatting the SD card
by using the
camera's "Format" parameter in the menu settings before
using it for the first time is recommended, especially when a
card has been used in other devices
.
To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not
try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is
released from the slot and ready to be removed when you
hear the click. Be sure the camera's power is switched
OFF
before inserting or removing SD cards or batteries.
6. USING THE CAMERA
Once you've prepared your camera by properly installing
batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap
it to a tree (or not-according to your application scenario),
switch it
ON
and leave-and you might get some great photos
that are exactly what you wanted. However, we highly
recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors
with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more
about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do. If
nothing else, you'll probably want to at least set the date and
time so the camera will imprint them (or not-it's your option) on
your photos as they are taken, learn how to set the camera to
shoot video clips instead of still photos if you like, and read
some tips about mounting it on a tree.
7. THE OFF, ON, AND SET MODES
The camera has three basic operational modes:
OFF
mode: Power switch in the
OFF
position.
