# Still Mode Settings

When the sensor is set to <span class="s2">**Still Mode**</span>, two additional menu screens become available: <span class="s2">**Number (NUM)**</span> and <span class="s2">**Frame Rate (FPS)**</span>. These control how many photos are taken and how quickly they are captured when motion is detected.

### **Number (NUM)**

The <span class="s2">**Number**</span> screen lets you choose how many photos the camera will take each time motion is detected.

#### **Adjusting the Number of Photos**

1. From the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span>, press the <span class="s1">**Right Arrow**</span> until you reach the <span class="s1">**NUM**</span> screen.
2. Use the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> buttons to select a value between <span class="s1">**1**</span> and <span class="s1">**6**</span>.
3. Press the <span class="s1">**Set**</span> button to <span class="s1">**save**</span> your selection.

This value determines the total number of photos that will be captured per detection event.

For example, setting <span class="s2">**NUM = 5**</span> means the camera will take five photos each time the sensor detects motion.

### **Frame Rate (FPS)**

The <span class="s2">**Frame Rate (FPS)**</span> screen determines how quickly the photos in each sequence are taken — that is, how many frames are captured per second during a detection event.

#### **Adjusting the Frame Rate**

1. From the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span>, press the <span class="s1">**Right Arrow**</span> until you reach the <span class="s1">**FPS**</span> screen.
2. Use the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> buttons to select the desired frame rate.
3. Press the <span class="s1">**Set**</span> button to <span class="s1">**save**</span> your selection.

The available frame rate range is <span class="s2">**0.25 to 3.0 FPS**</span>, where:

- <span class="s1">**3.0 FPS**</span> = Three photos per second (maximum speed).
- <span class="s1">**1.0 FPS**</span> = One photo per second.
- <span class="s1">**0.5 FPS**</span> = One photo every two seconds.
- <span class="s1">**0.25 FPS**</span> = One photo every four seconds (minimum speed).

For example, if <span class="s2">**NUM = 5**</span> and <span class="s2">**FPS = 1.0**</span>, the camera will take five photos over five seconds.

If <span class="s2">**FPS = 2.0**</span>, those same five photos will be captured over 2.5 seconds.

#### **Notes**

- Higher FPS settings capture faster sequences but may increase camera buffer use and flash cycle demands, and may also be more disturbing to animals when using flash.
- Lower FPS settings conserve battery and flash power and can be useful for monitoring slower-moving subjects.
