7.1. OFF Mode
The OFF mode is the "safe" mode when any actions must be
taken, e.g., replacing the SD card (for the E8P, E8PCF and
E8PWF models) or battery, or transporting the device. And of
course, when you are storing or not using the camera, you will
switch it to OFF. Please note that in the OFF mode the camera
still consumes a little power. It's a good idea to take the battery
out of the battery compartment if the camera will not be used
for a long time.
7.2. ON Mode
In the ON mode you can check and change the settings of the
camera with the help of its built-in screen. These settings,
found in the menu by pressing MENU key, let you change the
photo or video resolution, interval between photos, switch the
time imprint on, etc. (See more in Section 9 ADVANCED
SETTINGS).
On the screen display, you will see an information screen that
shows how many images have been taken, the battery level,
camera or video mode, etc.
ATTENTION PLEASE: In the ON mode, the camera will
automatically enter SURVEILLANCE mode if there is no
operation (key pressing) within 5 minutes. Then the camera
will perform as your settings in the menu.
In the ON mode, you can connect the camera to a computer's
USB port to download your images.
