K3 - Flash Mode Switch (LED / Standard): The Game camera has two modes that select which flash type will fire under dark conditions: (a) LED Mode (Infrared LED lamp array): The iR-LED (infrared) light is invisible to the naked eye, but will provide illumination for the camera, use it when you do not want to alert the subject at night. This mode can also be used for nighttime movie capture. During the time defined as "Night", an infrared blocking filter is automatically deactivated, so that the iR light generated by the LEDs can create an image. During the "Day", the infrared blocking filter is re-activated; therefore, you should use the "Standard" or xenon flash position for best results when the camera is set to "Day only" time mode. (b) STD (Standard) Mode: (Xenon flash tube) Note: this switch position may be labeled "Incand" rather than "STD" on some early production units. You can use Standard mode for twilight/cloudy conditions, or to take color still pictures at night. if you want to use the MOViE mode, you can not use Standard flash mode--you must set K3 to LED. 12 Trail Scout 2007 Models 119833+112 12 5/29/07 11:08:32 PM 4.
