CAPTURE MODES

The P-150 offers five capture modes as described below. The default capture mode is Panoramic.

SINGLE MODE

Still photos are taken when an animal is detected. The number of photos taken when an animal is detected is configurable in Settings. The position in which the photo is taken (right, center, or left) depends on which sensor detects an animal. Photos are stored in the DCIM/100MFCAM folder on the SD card.

PANORAMIC MODE

Still photos are taken when an animal is detected. When any of the sensors detect an animal, the camera will take a series of three photos, one at each position (right, center, left) and combine these into one panoramic photo. Photos are stored in the DCIM/100MFCAM folder on the SD card.

TIME LAPSE MODE

The camera takes photos at a specified interval during the day and stores them in a separate TIME folder for each day of time lapse capture. The camera takes a series of Time Lapse Photos twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. The morning Time Lapse Photo Series begins 15 min before sunrise. The evening Time Lapse Photo series ends 15 min after sunset. See chart below as a reference. The length of each Time Lapse Photo Series is determined by the Time Lapse Duration setting in the camera menu. The camera will detect the correct sunrise and sunset times automatically and adjust itself accordingly. The Time Lapse Photo Series images are stored in the TIME folder on the SD card with a subfolder for each day.

It will take the camera 24hrs to properly adjust to the correct sunrise and sunset times. As a default the camera will start the morning Time Lapse Photo Series at 5:45am and end the evening video at 6:15pm. To reset the sunrise and sunset times back to the default times, use the Default Settings option in the menu.

NOTE: The camera can still be triggered to take a photo under certain settings while in Time Lapse mode. Please see the "Time Lapse Frequency" settings in the camera setup section.
