Note: The coloured LEDs light up only when in SETUP
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 (main switch to the right) and
enter the camera's field of view from different directions.
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 550
is dust and splash proof and fulfils the IP 54 protection
classification. It is suitable for outdoor use in all weather
conditions.
7. Image and video playback
If the camera has made images or videos, these can be
viewed in the camera's display. To do this, the camera must
either be in SETUP mode (main switch in the middle) or in
ON mode (main switch to the right). Now press the "RE-
PLAY" button to view the photos and videos taken by the
camera. You can navigate through the menu using the Up
and Down buttons.
If you wish to see more details in the photo, you can zoom
in and out of the photo using the "camera" and the "plus"
/ "minus" buttons and then the arrow buttons to navigate
within the photo.

If you wish to save the zoomed-in portion of the photo,
push the "OK" button. The original photo will remain un-
affected.
To zoom out from the picture, use the button showing the
video camera and the minus sign.
To start and stop a video playback, use the OK button. Use
the Right / Left buttons to fast forward or rewind the video
during playback and the Up / Down buttons to regulate
the volume.
While in playback mode, you can find a separate playback
menu by pushing the Menu button. From here, you can
either delete the currently seen photo/video or all of your
recorded images and videos.
8. Connecting the camera to a computer
Your MINOX DTC 550 saves your photos and videos in a
folder 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 550 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
connecting it to a computer. Connect your camera to the
computer using the USB cable (included in the scope of
delivery) via the USB port. Switch the camera to TEST mode
