USING THE SETUP MENU
Setting the Image Capture Mode, Resolution, and Shot Mode
Both trail cam models are normally (by default) set to take still photos, at
the highest resolution the camera is capable of: 3MP (
119233C
) or 5MP
(
119225C
). However, you may prefer to setup your camera to capture
video clips instead of still photos, or change the still photo resolution to
“Lo”, so you can get more photos on the SD card and not have to download
or change cards as often (lower resolution=smaller files=more will fit on
card of same capacity).
These settings are found in the Setup Menu for both models, immediately
after the Date and Time settings. So first, you’ll need to enter the Setup
Menu (press
MENU
or
SETUP
), and go past all the Date/Time settings as

then press
OK
.
If you have model #119225C:
Both the still photo and video icons will be blinking. Press
1.
OK
, then
press
UP
or
DOWN
so only one of the icons is blinking-if you want
still photos, select that icon (regular camera), then press
OK
(
you’ll
then have more options
). If you want videos, select that icon (video
camera) then press
OK
(if you select video mode, that’s the only
step-you’re done).
If you selected the still photo icon in the previous step, you now
