4.1.20 Format SD card
Connect the camera via the supplied USB cable to your
computer. The content of the memory card is displayed
as an external hard disk on the computer.
The camera supports 3 kinds of fi le formats, FAT12,
FAT16 and FAT32.
The default value is FAT16 to save pictures and videos.
Here are some related notes:
• Normally, there is no reason to change the fi le
format. Unless your equipment has problems reading
the SD card. When this happens, reformat the SD
card directly on the camera or on your computer.
Then insert the card into your camera and try again.
• The default fi le format of the camera is FAT16, which
can be read by most computers. When you format
an SD card for your camera with your computer, you
should choose the FAT16 fi le format. Normally FAT16
is recommended unless you use a image viewer that
demands FAT12 or FAT32.
4.2 Save Photos or Videos to your computer
Make sure that the main power switch is in the OFF
position to back up your photos or videos on a com-
puter. Connect the camera via the supplied USB cable
to your computer. The contents of the memory card
is displayed as an external hard disk on the computer.
Look for the "DCIM" folder. In the menu that appears,
there is another folder "100SIMOS". You can copy or
cut selected fi les and transfer them to your hard disk.
4.3 Mounting and positioning of the camera
Once you have set the camera parameters, you can
mount the camera at a suitable position. In order to
obtain optimal image quality, the camera should be
placed about 5 meters (16-17ft) away from the subject
at a height of 1.5-2 m (5 to 6.5 ft). The best results at
night can be achieved if the subject is within the fl ash
range of the camera, ideally between 3 m (10') and 14
m (45').
There are 2 ways to mount the camera:
with the included adjustable belt or with the tripod
thread.
