USING THE SETUP MENU
Formatting the SD Card
The last item in the Setup Menu on both models allows you to format
the inserted SD card. This will delete all files from your card, so it is useful
to quickly prepare a previously used card to store new photos or videos
taken by the trail camera. Of course, you should be careful, since it erases
everything, including photos you may have wanted to keep, and even
files created by other devices you may have used the same card in. An
“extra step” is provided to prevent accidental formatting. If you’re sure
you do want to format the SD card, here are the steps:
Enter the Setup Menu (press
1.
MENU
or
SETUP
), then press
OK
until you see the SD card icon blinking. You will also see a number
(119225C)
or blinking “FoNo”
(119233C)
. Press
OK
.
You’ll see “FoNo”, with the “No” blinking. Just press
2.
OK
if you don’t
want to format the card-the menu screen will cycle back to the first
item (Set Year) again. If you do want to format an old SD card for
reuse, first make sure you have saved (backed up) any files stored on
the card that you wanted to keep, as formatting will erase all files.
To format the card, press
3.
UP
so “Fo” is blinking, then press
OK
.
Press
UP
again to select “Y” for Yes (this extra step helps prevent
accidental erasure of data-leave “N” selected and press
OK
to cancel
formatting) and press
OK
-you’ll see “SDFo”, confirming that the SD
card has been formatted and is ready for new image files.
Exiting the Setup Menu
When you’ve finished using the Setup Menu, and are ready to return the
camera to normal operating mode, so it will begin to capture photos or
videos for you, simply:
Press and hold the
•
MENU
button (
model 119233C
)
Press the
•
SETUP
button (
model 119225C
).
After you exit the Setup Menu, the display will go blank
•
(on the
119233C, you will first briefly see the camera mode and SD card icons,
and the # of images taken),
and the camera will start to capture photos
or videos (depending on your settings) in about 30 seconds.
