DOWNLOADING the PHOTOS/VIDEOS
To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac*, first make sure the
Trophy Cam power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the supplied
cable to the camera’s USB port, then directly to a main USB port on your
computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered
“hubs”.
The Trophy Cam will be recognized as a standard “USB Mass Storage”
device (this may take several seconds the first time you connect it). If you
would rather leave your camera in the woods and just pull its SD card out,
an SD card reader works the same way as described in this section once
the card is inserted and the reader is connected to your computer.
With Windows XP or later, you can then simply use
the options in the pop-up window to copy, view, or
print your photos (right).
On all Windows OS, the Trophy Cam will also be
listed as a “Removable Disk” if you open the “My
Computer” window (on Macs, an icon will appear
on your desktop). The Trophy Cam’s photo les
are named “PICT0001.JPG” etc, and are located in the “DCIM\100EK113”
folder on this “Removable Disk”. Video le names will end with “.ASF”. You
may copy the photos/videos to your hard drive as you would any le-just
copy/paste or drag the le names or icons to your drive or desktop.
After the photos are copied to your hard drive, you can disconnect the
Trophy Cam. (On Mac computers, drag the “disk” that appeared on your
desktop when the camera was connected into your Trash to “eject” it
before disconnecting.) The .jpg standard les from the Trophy Cam may
be viewed and edited with any photo software you choose to use. The .asf
video les may be viewed with Windows Media Player (version 7 or later)
as well as other video playback programs that may have been supplied
with your computer, or are available online.
* “.ASF” video les may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
