Operating The Camera; Image Playback; Further Information; Storage - Minox DTC 460 Mode D'emploi

OPERATING THE CAMERA

Switch your DTC 460 to "ON" mode (main switch to the right). In
this mode, your DTC 460 will automatically use the most previ-
ous settings made while in the Settings Mode.
Note: The red activation LED will blink several seconds
before the camera enters operational mode. When the LED
stops blinking, the camera is ready to record images and
videos in accordance with your settings.
Night mode
For night-shots, the necessary lighting is provided by the infra-
red LEDs on the front of the camera. The maximum recording
distance in the dark is about 15 meters. Due to the nature of the
infrared lighting, night-shots are in black and white.
Aligning the camera
The wide angle of the camera lens makes aligning your camera
quite simple: a rough eye alignment is enough at first. Then pay
particular attention to the vertical tilt, i.e. the correct inclinati-
on of the camera. This is especially important when the camera
is not mounted on straight, vertical posts or surfaces. Once you
have found a good position, switch the camera to SETUP mode.
Move from one side to the other in front of the camera. The
red LED should flash to show that you have been detected by
the motion sensor. This should help you decide roughly where

to direct the camera lens. Such a general orientation is usually
sufficient.
Note: The colored LEDs light up only when in TEST mode.
When the main switch has been moved to ON, the LEDs do
not light up anymore. If you wish to fine-tune the alignment
of your camera, set the camera to ON mode and enter the
camera's field of view from different directions. Go to TEST
mode and push the REPLAY button to view your results. If
necessary, you can correct the alignment and repeat the
procedure. If the alignment of the camera is to your satis-
faction, the camera can be switched to ON.
Note: To avoid undesired images or videos, do not set the
camera up in sunny areas. Make sure that branches do
not move in front of the camera. The MINOX DTC 460 is
dustproof and splashproof and fulfils the IP 54 protection
classification. It is suitable for outdoor use in all weather
conditions.

IMAGE PLAYBACK

Once your camera has recorded images, you can view these
using the "Playback" option. You will first need to set the came-
ra to "SETUP" mode. Now press the "Replay" button and you'll
be able to view the photos and videos that your camera has
recorded. You can browse through these using the arrow but-
tons. Press the "OK" button to start and stop playback of videos.
Press the "Menu" button during "Playback" mode if you wish
to delete selected photos or videos. You also have the option
of deleting all recorded photos and videos at once. For safe-
guarding purposes, it will be necessary for you to select these
options again before they become effective. Press the "Replay"
button to stop playback.Connecting the camera to a computer
Your MINOX DTC 460 saves your photos and videos to a fol-
der named "DCIM/100Media" on your SD card. Photos have the
file ending ".jpg" and videos ".avi". There are two possibilities to
transfer the files to your PC: either you remove the SD card and
insert it into a card reader or you connect the DTC 460 to your
PC with the USB cable included in the scope of delivery.
Transferring your files via USB cable
Always ensure that the camera is switched off before connec-
ting it to a computer. Connect your camera to the computer
using the USB cable (included in delivery) via the USB port.
Switch the camera to TEST mode (main switch in the middle).
The camera will now be recognized as a removable storage
device. Your photos and videos can now be copied to a folder
on your PC.
Transferring your files via SD card
Always ensure that the camera is switched off before the SD
card is removed from the camera, otherwise the files on your
memory card could be damaged. Remove the memory card from
the slot and insert it into the card reader connected to your
computer. Some computers also have an internal slot for SD
cards - in this case, insert the SD card directly into the slot on
your computer. Your photos and videos can now be copied to a
folder on your PC.
Connection to the TV
To connect your camera to a TV, set the MINOX DTC 460 to
SETUP mode and then connect the USB cable to the camera.
Connect the other end of the cable to the TV. Then select the
appropriate video input source on the TV set for the USB input
you are using.
