This menu allows you to control various operating parameters related to the camera and picture taking process. The display will show
[Camera Setup?] on line 1, and [C=YES] on line 2. Press the (C KEY) to advance to these menus as described next. After
you press the (C KEY) pressing the (S KEY) will advance to the next submenu. To skip these menus press the (S KEY).
The submenus all work the same: press the (UP KEY) or (DOWN KEY) to change the setting. Press the (C KEY) to restore the
previous setting. Press the (S KEY) to advance to the next menu. The menus are described next.
a) Camera Mode – This selects Cuddeback’s operating mode. You can select Motion, Time Lapse, Both.
i) Motion – Cuddeback will activate the camera when it senses an animal/person with its motion sensor.
ii) Time Lapse – Cuddeback will activate the camera on a time lapse interval. In this mode the motion sensor is not used.
(See section Time Lapse Photography for more information).
iii) Both – Cuddeback will activate the camera when it senses an animal and on the programmed time lapse interval.
b) Time Lapse Interval – This is the duration between photos in hours. The range is 1 hour to 96 hours (4 days) in increments
of 1 hour. This menu will only be displayed if Time Lapse is turned on.
c) Time Lapse Start Hour – This is the start time hour you want the time lapse sequence to start. The range is 12AM to 12PM
and NextHour. This menu will only be displayed if Time Lapse is turned on. (See section Time Lapse Photography for more
information).
d) Flash Mode – This selects if you want to utilize Cuddeback’s built in strobe flash. You can select Auto or Off.
i) Auto – Cuddeback will use the flash if needed. Essentially, if it is dark the flash will be used, if there is ample ambient
light the flash will not be used. This is the recommended setting.
ii) Off – Cuddeback will NOT use the flash. Daylight images will be taken, however, images that require the flash will
NOT be taken.
e) Flash Range
i) The flash range can be set to standard or long. Standard will provide the highest quality image, and Long will provide a
greater flash distance.
ii) Press (UP KEY) or (DOWN KEY) to change the setting.
f) View Quality – This setting controls how images are displayed on an external TV that is attached to Cuddeback’s TV
connector. Choices are Standard and High.
i)
Standard – When Standard view quality is selected images are displayed very fast, but at a very low resolution. This
allows you to scroll through images very fast. If you have an image that you would like to see in high resolution you can
use the image view command to display the current displayed image in high resolution. We recommend using the
Standard setting.
ii) High – When High view quality is selected images are displayed at a high resolution, but at a slower rate. This allows
you to get a better look at the images, but it will require more time to view images.
NOTE: Images viewed on a TV are lower quality than when viewed on a PC.
g) Video Mode – This will enable the recording of video clips. Choices are Off and On If you choose to record video clips you
will still record a still image. Cuddeback is unique in that it is the only (that we know of) digital camera that will
simultaneously record a still image and a video clip! Videos will only be taken during day light hours. Images will still be
recorded 24 hours a day (unless changed with the Camera Window setting).
Note: You CAN NOT view video clips in the field. Video clips can only be viewed with a personal computer and
appropriate software. See section COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS for more information.
i) Off – Video clip will not be recorded.
