1.5.5. Automatic Camera Shutdown Time 

To save battery power, the camera automatically turns OFF after a period of inactivity. The duration of this period 
can be set to between 15 (default) and 60 minutes. This feature can also be disabled. To change this setting: 

1.  Open the Adjustments menu by pressing 

F1 

 

in the Main screen and selecting Parameters > 

Adjustments. 
 

2.  Select 

 to display the shutdown time setting.  

 

3.  Use the up and down buttons to change settings. You can also select None to disable automatic shutdown. 

When None is selected, the camera turns off only when battery power is too low to continue operation. 
 

4.  When the desired setting is displayed, press 

F2

 

 

 

1.5.6. Screen Brightness 

You can adjust the screen brightness level to ensure good visibility in varying lighting conditions. By default, the 
camera is configured in Automatic mode: a brightness sensor adjusts the lighting level at all times. To change 
this: 
 

1.  Open the Adjustments menu by pressing 

F1 

 

in the Main screen and selecting Parameters > 

Adjustments. 
 

2.  Select 

 to display the screen brightness setting. Use the up and down buttons to change this setting. 

Options are Automatic (the camera automatically adjusts the screen brightness), or a percentage of full 
screen brightness (15%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%). 
 

3.  When the desired setting is displayed, press 

F2

 

 to select it. 

 

1.5.7. Image Storage Directory 

The working directory in which image files are stored must be located on the micro SD card, which must be 
present in the camera. By default this is "1:/images." 
 
It is good practice to organize records into several directories and limit the number of files in each. This will 
reduce the time needed to display the content of each directory. 

 
To change the working file storage directory: 
 

1.  Press 

F1 

 

in the Main screen and select 

 to display the Files 

menu. 
 

2.  Select 

 to display the Directory menu (a typical directory is shown 

to the left). 
 

3.  Use the up and down buttons to navigate through the listed folders. To 

open a folder to browse subfolders, highlight it and press 

F2

 

.  

 

4.  You can select an existing folder as the working directory, or create a 

new one by opening 

 New. This displays the Create new directory 

dialog (shown below):
