Canon VB150 appendix Specifying parameters in Picture Mail messages, Description Values

"Recording Priority"

When there is a conflict between the timing of recording specified in a schedule and "Recording between ON event and OFF event", this setting specifies which recording takes priority. Tick "Recording triggered by external device" or "Recording triggered by schedule" (Recording triggered by external device P.48, Recording triggered by Schedule P.50). The factory default setting gives priority to "Recording triggered by external device" .

"Picture Mail Message Body"

When pictures that were recorded using “Recording triggered by external device” (→ P.48) are sent via e-mail, the information given here is sent as the message body. You can specify ASCII text (spaces or printable characters, excluding quotation marks) or parameters denoted by percentage symbols (%). Be sure to make the "Picture recording and output: triggered by external device" settings (→ P.48) and "Mail" settings (→ P.55).

● With picture recording triggered by schedule, (→ P.50) recorded pictures cannot be sent as Picture Mail.
