Reviewing Images by Connecting the Camera to a Computer

You can always unmount the entire camera from the tree and connect its USB port to a computer-it will be recognized as a “removable disk”, without the need to install any drivers or software. When using a PC (or Mac*) to view photos (or video clips*), first connect the device to the computer with the supplied USB cable. Then use commercial software with an image browser feature, or an image browser included with the PC’s operating system to view images saved on the SD card in the folder \DCIM\100EK113. Each new image or video will be numbered incrementally in order of the time it was captured. For example, you will see file names such as “PICT0001.JPG” or “PICT0001.avi”. Through the file format suffix you can distinguish whether the file is a still photo (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .avi).

The Trail Cam supports 3 kinds of file system formats, FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32. The default value is FAT16 to save photos and videos. Here are some related notes:

•You don’t need to be concerned about the file system format of the Trail Cam unless your equipment has problems reading the SD card. If this happens, please format the SD card with the Trail Cam or in your computer first and then insert the card into your Trail Cam and try again.

•The default file system format of the Trail Cam is FAT16, which most computers can read. If you format an SD card for the Trail Cam in your computer, you should choose the file system format FAT16. Normally FAT16 is recommended unless you have another image viewer that uses FAT12 or FAT32 format.

Deleting Photos or Videos

If you see a photo or video during playback on the video monitor that you want to delete, it can be done easily without leaving SETUP mode:

•Press the MENU key. You will see the first “Delete” screen, which lets you selects the option to delete only the currently displayed photo/ video, or all photos/videos.

•Select the “Delete Current” or “Delete All” option, then press OK.

•Next, select “Yes” and press OK to erase only the last displayed photo or video (if you selected “Delete Current”), or every photo and video file on the card (if you selected “Delete All”)-or select “No” and press OK to cancel the operation without deleting any files.

*“.avi” video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac. 23
