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 and 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 the
supplied USB cable. 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.
For example, you will see file nam
es such as “PICT0001.JPG” or
“PICT0001.ASF”. Through the file format suffix you can distinguish whether
the file is a still photo (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .asf).
*″.ASF″ video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac
The
KeepGuard Cam
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
KeepGuard Cam
unless your equipment has problems reading the SD
card. If this happens, please format the SD card with the
KeepGuard
Cam
or in your computer first and then insert the card into your
KeepGuard Cam
and try again.
• The default file system format of the
KeepGuard Cam
is FAT16, which
most computers can read. If you format an SD card for the
KeepGuard
Cam
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.
DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS
To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac, first make sure the
KeepGuard Cam
power switch is in the
OFF
position. Connect the supplied
cable to
the camera′s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your
computer. Do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered
″hubs″.
