5. After you finish setting the Stop minutes, press OK to confirm your
settings for the first block of Field Scan recording. If desired, you can
create a second block of time by pressing the DOWN key to select "B"
(Step 4), then press OK and follow the same process to set Start and
Stop times for Field Scan block "B" (Step 5). As an example of how you
might use these two available time blocks, you could setup Field Scan
time block "A" for the dawn hours from 6 AM to 8 AM, and block "B"
to capture images between 5:30 and 7 PM. No Field Scan recording
would occur from 8AM to 5:30PM, or from 7PM to 6AM.
6. After setting Start/Stop times to define Field Scan block "A" and/or
"B", press OK, then press the UP or DOWN key to select "Interval"
and press OK (Step 6). The Field Scan "Interval" setting lets you
control how often a photo or video clip is recorded during the block(s)
of time you defined with the Start and Stop settings. Your options are
60 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes (this is the default), or
1 minute (still photo mode only). Use the UP/DOWN keys to select
your preference, then press OK to save it (Step 7). Note that for videos,
"Interval" is independent of the Length of each video recording-it’s
how often videos are recorded, not how long each one lasts.
7. Here’s an example of how the camera would operate, based on the
following Field Scan settings:
Field Scan: On
Field Scan A:
[Start]: 6:00
[Stop]: 8:00
Field Scan B:
[Start]: 17:30
[Stop]: 19:00
Interval: 15M
These settings would cause the camera to capture a photo (or video,
if the camera is set to that mode) once every 15 minutes, beginning at
6 AM, until the Field Scan "A" recording block stops at 8:00 AM. Later
that day, the camera would again take a photo or video every 15 minutes
between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM (during Field Scan time block "B").
The next day, the camera would again record an image or video once
every 15 minutes between 6:00 and 8:00 AM, and between 5:30 and
Note: avoid any "overlap" of Field Scan A & B
recording blocks when setting their start and stop
times, to assure correct operation. Also-if the "Camera
Mode" menu parameter is set to "Day" or "Night"
operation only, that will take priority over your Field
Scan settings. Set the Camera Model to "24 HR" if
you are setting both day and night start and/or stop
times in Field Scan.
