Sony Ericsson DSC-S600 - Manual (Page 9)

Building a trail camera
In the photos below, Figure 7 and Figure 8 we show a completed trail camera system using a camo dipped Pelican
1020 case (note: Pelican will be selling Pelican 1020 and 1040 camo dipped cases in a Mossy Oak pattern in 2006).
In this example we are using a PixController LE board with the LE II PIC chip in Sony S40 mode. The Sony S40 board
setting are the same for the Sony DSC-S600 (both in the LE and Universal PixController boards). This layout uses a
9V battery holder w/ on-off switch, which can be purchased from the www.pixcontroller.com web site.

Camera Setting
We suggest the following Sony DSC-S600 setting for maximum trail camera performance:
• Red Eye Reduction: Off
• AF Illuminator: Off
• Auto Review: Off
• Beep: Off
• Set your Date/Time
• Setup Camera in “Program Mode”
• ISO 1000 (brightest night photos)
• Picture Quality: Fine
The shutter time from PIR motion event is under 2 seconds for this camera, and if setup in ISO 1000 mode you will
get a flash range beyond 40 feet.
