CAMERA INSPECTION

There are various possibilities to check if images have been taken.
1. Open the camera and switch it o . After 1 to 2 seconds switch the slide control (12) to SETUP mode. On the LCD display you can see the starting
image. The bottom line shows how many pictures have been taken and how many more will fi t on the SD card (e.g. 000034/001846m). Press the
OK button (11) to view the images on the LCD display (8).
2. Alternatively, you can view the images comfortably on your home PC using an image viewer.
CAUTION: To avoid camera damages always make sure that camera is switched o (12=OFF) before removing SD card!
3. When checking the camera function, also check battery status. If the batteries are no longer providing su cient power, there may be defi cien-
cies with the quality of the pictures, especially with nightly shots since the fl ash requires more energy than available. In case of doubt, ex-
change the batteries.
14 | TIPS AND HINTS
SD MEMORY CARD
The camera only works with an SD memory card. There are SD cards which may not work with the DÖRR SnapShot and may a ect the function of
the camera. Usually it helps to use another SD card of other brand or di erent capacity. We recommend using a SD card with a capacity of 8GB
up to max. 32GB (e.g. LEXAR cards, optionally available from DÖRR).
LENS RATTLES
The camera lens is covered with a fi lter which allows coloured pictures at daylight and black & white shots at night. When camera is turned o
the fi lter is not fi xed which can cause the rattle noise. However, this is no defect.
WEATHER PROTECTION
Although the camera is weatherproof and well-suited for outdoor use, we recommend to mount it at a secured place, so not on the weather side
or in the direct sunshine. After long periods of humidity, caused by rain or fog, the camera should be stored in a dry area for a few days. Dust and
splash waterproof according to protection class IP54.

MOTION SENSOR

The motion sensor will react under certain circumstances and within a certain range. In general the range of recognition is slightly larger than
the range covered by the image. The recognition of the objects depends on temperature, vegetal cover, refl ecting surfaces and more circumstan-
ces. Under optimum conditions, a perfectly oriented camera and high sensitivity level adjustment, the recognition range can be up to 12-15m.
Usually, you may expect a range of 10 m. It can take a few attempts to fi nd the proper position for your camera. When you test the motion sensor
reaction, be aware of the facts that animals are usually remarkably smaller than human beings. So they may not be recognized.

LIGHT CONDITIONS

Avoid direct back light, as you do in normal photography. When you choose the camera position, make sure that there will be no direct back light
and also that the camera will not be placed in the shadow.
