Operating instructions
Things to consider before turning the camera on:
Placement
• The camera can be mounted with the included strap or by using a stand or
other bracket that fits the tripod adaptor (21) or (22) on the back of the camera.
Make sure that the camera sits securely so that it is not affected by wind or other
external factors.
• Remember to position the camera where it will receive the best possible protection
from the elements.
• A suitable distance to the subject is approximately 5 m; secure the camera
approximately 1.5 to 2 m above the ground.
• Set the function selector to
TEST
mode and press [ ] to turn on the laser pointer
and use it as a visual aid to aim the camera.
For best results
• The camera is affected by temperature. The capacity and range of the PIR sensor is
affected by the ambient temperature relative to the animal’s body heat. The greater
the difference, the easier it is for the camera to detect movement over a longer distance.
• The camera takes colour images in daylight and black and white ones in darkness.
• Bear in mind where the sun rises/sets, and position the camera with the sun
behind it. This will prevent direct light spoiling your photos. If possible, position
the camera in a northerly direction to prevent direct light spoiling your photos and
false indications from the PIR sensor.
• Remove any twigs in front of the camera; twigs with leaves on them can cause
false indications.
