MODIFYING CAMERA SETTINGS, DELETING ALL IMAGES,
FORMATTING, AND RESETTING THE FILE COUNTER
Camera settings can be checked and modified from your PC. You can also delete all
the image files, format the camera memory and reset the file counter (file number).
Check that the camera is connected to a PC with
the USB cable (
/ P.16).
The “Oregon Scientific Config” screen opens
and you can perform tasks such as
modifying the camera settings and deleting
all the data in the camera’s memory.
When the camera settings are modified
in the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen,
the settings on the camera are also
switched automatically.
h About the file counter (file numbers)
File numbers (No. 0001 to 9999) are automatically assigned to
images when they are shot. The assigned file numbers are then
saved with the images during downloading.
✽ Because the file numbers assigned when shots are taken are
stored on the camera, the file numbers of images do not
change while they remain on the camera.
✽ If you delete an image on the camera after shooting it, the file
number of the deleted file is skipped.
✽ When you reset the file counter, the file numbers for the next
images shot begin again from “0001”. However, the file
counter can only be reset when [Delete All Images] or [Format]
is selected in the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen.
h Low Light Alert: When this feature is enabled, the
camera warns the user that a scene is too dark
for a proper picture. Under such dim lighting
conditions, the camera will make an error beep
when the shutter button is pressed. Keeping the
shutter button pressed during and after the beep
will force the snapshot, if desired, but the quality
of the picture will most likely be sub-standard.
h Auto Shutoff timeout: User can select the auto
shut-off timeout with short (~25 seconds) or long
(~50 seconds). The factory default is short.
