Photo Resolution - Mega Pixels (MP) are referring to the number of pixels in an image, basically the higher the number, the more pixels. This DOES NOT mean more pixels is always better. Your Super Model™ II camera sensor is optimized to take good, clear images at all mega pixel resolutions. Please use this guide to help you choose which resolution setting will work best for your situation.
SLIDING SWITCH SETTING - VIDEO MODE **NOTE: Use arrow buttons to move sliding switches. Video Resolution - Please use this guide to help you choose which video resolution setting will work best for your situation. Resolution (Video/File Size) 30s High Res 15s High Res 60s Low Res 45s Low Res 30s Low Res 15s Low Res Usage Guidelines Larger size videos, but really large file size and will fill up the SD Memory Larger card much faster than low resolution.
SLIDING SWITCH SETTING - TIME LAPSE MODE Setting - Time Lapse Captures time lapse photography automatically all day and saves footage in a video file. This mode has gained popularity for scouting further distances, such as big open areas (food plots, fields, etc) where you will capture footage automatically whether there is motion directly in front of the camera or not. However, with the camera constantly taking pictures all day, the battery life will be limited (see Battery Life in manual).
Time Lapse Interval – The pre-set amount of time (seconds or minutes) you desire between each time lapse photo. Short intervals offer more constant surveillance but your AVI video file will be larger. Longer intervals will reduce the video file size and save battery life.
CAMERA MENU Date - Change to current date. Date in camera will be displayed on pictures and videos. Time - Change to current time. Time in camera will be displayed on pictures and videos. Camera Sensitivity (Sensing) - Motion Detector Sensitivity. Use ‘Normal’ as default. You can adjust the sensitivity of the Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor on your camera. The PIR sensor detects motion AND the difference between body heat and the outdoor temperature.
High Sensitivity • Use when trying to detect game at further distances (in fields or open areas with long-range visibility) • May use in warmer months or high heat climates so it is easier for sensor to detect difference between body heat and outdoor temperature. • May use when trying to capture photos of smaller game.

OPERATING TIPS IMPORTANT NOTES Learning to use your SUPER MODEL™ II – Visiting www.primos.com/Cameras and watching our Instructional Video Clips is the ‘easiest way’ to learn ‘how to use’ your SUPER MODEL™ II! Troubleshooting or Questions – Before calling customer service, visit www.primos. zendesk.com to find troubleshooting tips, frequently asked questions and answers, as well as any updates. Camera ‘Settings/Menu’ Mode or Camera ‘Active/Run’ Mode - Your SUPER MODEL™ only has two modes when powered on.
Internal Rechargeable Backup Battery - With first use or after a long time period or camera storage, internal battery may initially take up to 30 hours to fully charge (charges only when “AA” batteries are installed when camera is turned ON). Once charged, this backup battery is dedicated to saving the date, time and menu settings when the main AA-cell batteries are removed.
following scenarios are most likely 1) an animal ran through the picture extremely fast or 2) a smaller animal/bird is around the camera/sensor but is not in the camera field of view or 3) the sunlight or heat in combination with moving elements (trees, brush, shadows) is causing a false trigger. The first two scenarios are hard to prevent, but the sunlight/ heat should not cause many false triggers as the camera has been optimized to sense and distinguish for correct triggering.
