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 a
USB cable (not included, available at most electronics/computer retailers)
that has a "Mini-B" USB plug on one end (camera) and a "Standard-A"
USB plug at the other end (computer). 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 (first four digits indicate month/day). For
example, you will see file names such as "09030001.JPG" or "09030001.
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).
*".avi" video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
The Trophy Cam HD Essential 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
Trophy Cam HD Essential unless your equipment has problems
reading the SD card. If this happens, please format the SD card with
the Trophy Cam HD Essential or in your computer first and then
insert the card into your Trophy Cam HD Essential and try again.
• The default file system format of the Trophy Cam HD Essential is
FAT16, which most computers can read. If you format an SD card for
the Trophy Cam HD Essential 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 a connected 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 (see below).
• Highlight the "Delete Current" or "Delete All" option, then press OK.
