Off Mode; Setup Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions - Bushnell Core Instruction Manual

OFF MODE

The OFF mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must be taken, e.g., replacing the SD card or
batteries, or transporting the device. You will also use OFF mode if you connect the camera to a
computer's USB port later to download your photos/ videos. And of course, when you are storing or not
using the camera, you will switch it to OFF. Please note that even in the OFF mode the Core Trail
Camera still consumes power at a very low level. Therefore, it's a good idea to take the batteries out of
the battery compartment if the camera will not be used for a long time.
ON MODE
Anytime after the batteries and SD card have been inserted, you can switch on the camera. When the
power switch is moved to the top position, the camera will enter into the ON (Live) mode. The motion
indicator LED (pg. 6, "Front View") will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you
to close the Core Trail Camera's front cover, lock it, and leave the monitored area. Once in the ON
mode, no manual controls are needed or possible (the control keys have no effect). The Core Trail
Camera will take photos or videos automatically (according to its current parameter settings) when it is
triggered by the PIR sensor's detection of activity in the area it covers.
You can either move the power switch directly from OFF to ON mode, or stop at the SETUP position first
to change one or more settings, then move the switch to ON after you have finished doing so.
SETUP MODE
In the SETUP mode you can check and change the settings of the Core Trail Camera's with the help of its
built-in LCD. These settings, found in the SETUP Menu, let you change the photo or video resolution,
interval between photos, switch the time imprint on, etc. Moving the power switch to the SETUP
position will turn on the LCD display, and you will see an information screen that shows how many
images have been taken, the battery level, camera or video mode, etc (Fig. 3, next page).
NOTE: Always move the power switch from OFF to SETUP mode. It is possible that the camera could
lockup if it is switched from ON to SETUP mode. If this occurs, simply move the switch to OFF and then
push it up to SETUP again.

SETUP Mode Shortcut Keys/Functions

As mentioned earlier in "Parts & Controls", four of the directional keys beside the LCD have secondary,
"shortcut" functions when the camera is switched to SETUP mode (but the MENU key has not been
pressed):
• Press the UP key to quickly set the camera to shoot video clips.
• Press the DOWN key to quickly set the camera to take still photos.
• Press the RIGHT key to manually trigger the shutter. This is useful for testing the camera-make sure
you are in SETUP mode, press the RIGHT key, and a few seconds later a photo or video (depending on
how the camera was set) will be saved to the SD card (or internal memory if no card is inserted). The
"number of images taken" counter on the bottom left of the LCD will increase by one. If the display
indicates "SD LOCKED" when you press the SHOT key, switch the camera OFF, remove the SD card and
slide its lock switch off.
