DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/VIDEOS
To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac*, first make sure the
NatureView HD Cam power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the
supplied cable to the camera’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port
on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered
“hubs”.
The NatureView HD Cam will be recognized as a standard “USB Mass
Storage” device (this may take several seconds the first time you connect it).
If you would rather leave your camera in the woods and just pull its SD card
out, an SD card reader works the same way as described in this section once
the card is inserted and the reader is connected to your computer.
With Windows XP or later, you can then simply use the
options in the pop-up window to copy, view, or print
your photos (
right ).
On all Windows OS, the NatureView HD Cam will
also be listed as a “Removable Disk” if you open the
“My Computer” window (on Macs, an icon will appear
on your desktop). The NatureView HD Cam’s photo
files are named “EK0001.JPG” etc, and are located in
the “DCIM\100EK113” folder on this “Removable Disk”. Video file names will
end with “.AVI”. You may copy the photos/videos to your hard drive as you
would any file-just copy/paste or drag the file names or icons to your drive
or desktop.
After the photos are copied to your hard drive, you can disconnect the
NatureView HD Cam. (On Mac computers, drag the “disk” that appeared
on your desktop when the camera was connected into your Trash to “eject”
it before disconnecting.) The .JPG format photo files from the NatureView
HD Cam may be viewed and edited with any photo software you choose
to use. The .AVI video files may be viewed with the Windows Media Player
on PCs with Windows 7. If your computer is running an older version of
Windows, or you are on a Mac, and you don’t already have a compatible
video player, you can download a free version of the DivX player from http://
www.divx.com/.
