6. USING THE CAMERA
Once you've prepared your camera by properly installing
battery and an SD card
(for the
E8P
,
E8PCF
and
E8PWF
models)
, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree (or
not - according to your application scenario), switch it
ON,
press
START
button 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 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 SURVEILLANCE MODES
The camera has three basic operational modes:
OFF
mode: Power switch in the
OFF
position (The camera
is powered off).
ON
mode: Power switch in the
ON
position (The camera is
powered on and its screen is on).
SURVEILLANCE
mode: When the camera is powered on,
press
START
button to enter the surveillance mode. When
the screen is off, the camera enters standby and will perform
according to your settings.
App & Wi-Fi Connection

You can use the app to connect the camera when the camera is
operating in the
ON
or
SURVEILLANCE
mode.
