SD CARD (Included)

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF CABELA’S SO PRO MEMORY CARDS.
Cabela’s SD Pro Memory Cards are manufactured with high-quality performance parts for optimal photo and video storage in scouting cameras/recorders, digital cameras, and more. These cards are fast and durable for extensive shooting in the most extreme outdoor conditions. Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) PRD Cards work with Cabela’s game-trail cameras (SDHC refers to 4GB- 32GB). Never erase your SD card from any device other than your Cabela’s game- trail camera. Any time you erase a card or take a picture on a card, you are formatting it. If you erase your card in the computer, another digital camera, or any other device, you will format your card to that device and your Cabela’s camera may no longer be able to recognize it and read it properly.

  • INSERT THE SO CARO BEFORE TURNING ON CAMERA. This camera has no internal memory for saving images or videos.
  • BE SURE WRITE-PROTECT IS UNLOCKED BEFORE INSERTING THE SD CARD IN THE CAMERA.
  • DO NOT TAKE OUT THE SD CARD WHEN CAMERA POWER IS ON.

SAVING IMAGES OR VIDEOS
The camera uses a standard SD memory card to save images (in .JPEG format) and videos (in .avi format). SD and SDHC memory cards up to a maximum 32GB capacity are supported.
