If both an external power source is connected and batteries are installed, the
NatureView Cam will be powered by the external power source.
When the batteries become weak, the low-battery indicator LED will glow
blue, indicating the batteries should be changed (pg 7, Front View). The
LED may also flash when only 4 batteries are installed, due to the lower
current capacity-if so, switch to a full set of 12.
Inserting the SD Card
The NatureView Cam has 32MB of internal memory, which can hold only
about 20 photos (@ 5MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting
familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera
unattended for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended for
all models. Insert the SD card (with the camera’s power switch in the OFF
position) before beginning to operate the camera. Don’t insert or remove the
SD card when the power switch is in the ON position.
The NatureView Cam uses a standard SD (Secure Digital) memory card
to save photos (in .jpg format) and/or videos (in .avi format). SD and SDHC
(High Capacity) cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported.
High speed SD cards are recommended if you will use the 1920x1080 or
1280x720 video resolution settings (HD). Before inserting the SD card into
the card slot after opening the camera’s front cover, please make sure that
the write-protect switch on the side of the card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock”
position). The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:
• Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side upwards (see
below). A “click” sound indicates that the card is installed successfully.
If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you will not be able to insert
it without force-there is only one correct way to insert cards. If the SD
card is not installed correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon
on the LCD in SETUP mode (the SD card icon displayed after switching
to SETUP mode will have a “lock” symbol inside it in it if the card is locked).
Formatting the SD card by using the NatureView Cam’s “Format”
parameter before using it for the first time is recommended, especially
when a card has been used in other devices
(see pg. 23, “Format” for details).
• To take out the SD card, just gently push in the
card (do not try to pull it out without pushing
in first). The card is released from the slot and
ready to be removed when you hear the click.
