3. We recommend taking several test photos to see the area covered by the camera. For this purpose, turn the camera off first. Then slide the On/Off switch (9) to "ON" position and close the camera. After 15 - 30 seconds the camera is ready.
4. Move with normal speed through detection area. The camera triggers now.
5. The picture can be viewed on the LCD display (5) directly (please refer to capture 09) or with a Laptop or PC. There are 2 options:

a) Connect the camera directly to computer using the supplied USB cord. Plug the USB cord into the Mini USB port
(11) of the camera and connect with USB port at your computer.
b) Remove the memory card from the camera and read out pictures with an external card reader (optional).

1. We recommend to direct the camera in a way that the object will be in the center of the picture. You may have to re-adjust the camera and take another test shot.

Tip To change the camera angle you can use e.g. a small wooden wedge between camera and trunk.

1. Once the camera position is correct, the fixing belt can be tightened to hold the camera firmly
2. Switch the camera off after test shooting.

Memory card	The camera only works with an SD card. There are SD cards which may not harmonize with the DÖRR Snapshot and may affect function of camera. Usually it already helps to use another SD card of different brand or different capacity. The camera supports SD cards up to 32 GB.
Lens rattles	The camera lens is covered with a filter which allows coloured pictures at daylight and black & white shots at night. When camera is turned off 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, reflecting surfaces and more circumstances. Under optimum conditions, a perfectly oriented camera and high sensitivity level adjustment, the recognition range can be up to 12 - 15 m. Usually, you may expect a range of 10 m. It can take a few attempts to find 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.
Technical changes	Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. Latest manuals please download here: http://download.doerrfoto.info/manuals/Snapshot_20manuals/
