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.
ON
mode: Power switch in the
ON
position.
SET
mode: Power switch in the
SET
position (screen is on).
7.1. OFF MODE
The
OFF
mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must be
taken, e.g., replacing the SD card or batteries, or transporting
the device. And of course, when you are storing or not using the
camera, you will switch it to
OFF.
Please note that in the
OFF
mode the camera consumes little power. It's a good idea to take
the batteries out of the battery compartment if the camera will
not be used for a long time.
7.2. ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you
can switch the camera on. When the power switch is moved to
the middle position, the camera will enter into the
ON
(Surveillance) mode. If the Mode is set as "Motion Detection",
the camera will countdown 30-second delay and then be ready
