Still Mode Settings
When the sensor is set to Still Mode, two additional menu screens become available: Number (NUM) and Frame Rate (FPS). These control how many photos are taken and how quickly they are captured when motion is detected.
NUMNumber (NUM)
The Number screen lets you choose how many photos the camera will take each time motion is detected.
Adjusting the Number of Photos
- From the Home Screen, press the Right Arrow until you reach the NUM screen.
- Use the Up or Down buttons to select a value between 1 and 10.
- Press the Set button to save your selection.
This value determines the total number of photos that will be captured per detection event.
For example, setting NUM = 5 means the camera will take five photos each time the sensor detects motion.
FPSFrame Rate (FPS)
The Frame Rate (FPS) 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
- From the Home Screen, press the Right Arrow until you reach the FPS screen.
- Use the Up or Down buttons to select the desired frame rate.
- Press the Set button to save your selection.
The available frame rate range is 0.25 to 2.0 FPS, where:
- 2.0 FPS = Two photos per second (maximum speed).
- 1.0 FPS = One photo per second.
- 0.5 FPS = One photo every two seconds.
- 0.25 FPS = One photo every four seconds (minimum speed).
For example, if NUM = 5 and FPS = 1.0, the camera will take five photos over five seconds.
If FPS = 2.0, 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.
- Lower FPS settings conserve battery and flash power and can be useful for monitoring slower-moving subjects.
- Optimal FPS depends on both the camera’s burst capability and lighting setup.
