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. 7, "Front View")
will blink red for about 10 seconds. This interval allows time for you to close
the Trophy Cam HD'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 Trophy Cam HD 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 Trophy Cam
HD with the help of its built-in LCD (or a monitor connected to the TV out jack).
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 (see Fig. 3, pg. 10).
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 keys below 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
