Copying Photos To A Second Card (Camera > Storage)
The Viewer will also allow you to copy your photos from one SD card to another. This
is a very convenient way to take your Trail Scout pictures home with you to view, print,
etc on a PC, while leaving the original card in the game camera to capture another round
of photos. To do this, remove the card from the camera, copy its contents to a new card
you have inserted in the “Storage” slot (A), then you can delete all the photos from the
original card and put it back in your Trail Scout. If you are using multiple Trail Scouts
to cover a large area, you can “make the rounds” and repeat this process for all of your
cameras-just be sure to purchase a “storage” card with enough capacity to hold all of the
copied files (e.g. to copy all contents from three 32MB “camera” cards, use a 128MB or
greater “storage” card so it will hold the 96MB total contents of all three cards if they
are full).
To copy one or all of the photo files (depending on the “Copy Switch” setting in the
options menu-see the section “Menu/Setup Mode”) from the card in the “Camera” slot
to the card in the “Storage” slot, simply press the Copy button. The LCD will display
“Copy All Files-Be Sure Card Protect Switch Is Off”, which is a reminder that the
“Lock” switch on the side of your storage card should not be in the locked position (if
you need to remove and unlock the card, use the Left arrow button to highlight “Cancel”
and press Copy again-be sure to turn off the Viewer before removing the card). Press the
Copy button a second time, and the currently displayed file or all files will be copied to the
storage card. During the copy process , you will see a display indicating the total number of
files to be copied, and also which one of these files is currently being copied. “Source” (cam-
era card) and “Destination” (storage card) will flash alternately during the copy process, as
an indication that copying is currently in progress. Note that video files (due to their size)
may take several minutes each to copy.
Do not turn off the Viewer or remove either card during the copy process, to prevent pos-
sible damage to the Viewer or your files -allow time for copying to complete (time required
will vary depending on the number and size of files on Camera/source card). When the copy
process is finished, the display will briefly show the last image now stored on your Storage/
destination card, with the updated total number of images shown in the top left of the screen.
