switch to the
SETUP
position will turn on the LCD display, and you will see
an information screen that shows how many images have been taken, the
battery level, camera or video mode, etc
(see Fig. 3, pg. 12).
NOTE: Always move the power switch from
OFF
to
SETUP
mode. It
is possible that the camera could lockup if it is switched from
ON
to
SETUP
mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to
OFF
and then
push it up to
SETUP
again.
SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions
As mentioned earlier in “Parts & Controls”, four of the keys below the LCD
have secondary, “shortcut” functions when the camera is switched to
SETUP
mode (but the
MENU
key has not been pressed):
• Press the
UP
key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.
• Press the
DOWN
key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.
• Press the
RIGHT
key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful
for testing the camera-make sure you are in
SETUP
mode, press the
RIGHT
key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on
how the camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal
memory if no card is inserted). The “number of images taken” counter
on the bottom left of the LCD will increase by one. If the display
indicates “SD PROTECTED” when you press the SHOT key, switch
the camera OFF, remove the SD card and slide its protect switch off.
USING THE SETUP MENU TO CHANGE
SETTINGS
The main purpose of the
SETUP
mode is to allow you to change the settings
of the camera’s parameters (14 different ones are available) so your
Trophy
Cam HD Essential E3
operates exactly the way you want it to. You will do
this by entering the SETUP Menu and pressing the keys below the LCD
display, which will show you each parameter and its setting.
Changing Parameter Settings in SETUP Mode
A wide range of options or “parameters” are provided to allow you to set
the
Trophy Cam HD Essential E3
to your operational preferences. To
change the setting of any parameter you must first switch to the
SETUP
mode. Once in
SETUP
mode, pressing the
MENU
button will allow you
to select any parameter and change its setting. The name of the parameter
