5. Operating the Camera
5.1 Preparations For Operation
Follow these steps to get the SharkEye™ ready for operation.
•
Unpack the SharkEye™ and make sure you've got all the parts.
•
Charge the internal battery if necessary.
•
Connect the SharkEye™ to your computer.
•
Activate and test SharkEye™ on your desktop.
•
Deploy for your actual mission.
5.2 Activating the Camera
The SharkEye™ offers two 'power ON' options:
•
'Permanent ON' is achieved by rotating the power knob to the ON position. In this mode, the camera will not perform
timed autonomous captures. Permanent ON is appropriate for most missions where the camera is controlled via a PC.
•
''Standby' is achieved by rotating the knob to the ON position, waiting until the status LED starts blinking the ready
signal, and then moving the knob another 90 degrees to one of the positions half way between ON and OFF. The
camera will now perform scheduled autonomous acquisitions and fall asleep between captures in order to save battery
power.
