the red light ‘blinks’ slowly. To stop recording, press the on/off button once again.

settings to work effectively so it’s advised that you don’t rely on it for acquiring
footage.
- Press the mode button once to get into photo mode, the blue light will come on which
means it’s ready to capture image. Press the on/off button once and the blue light will
go off for about 4 seconds then return; this means a photo has been successfully taken.
Note: for the best photo results ensure adequate lighting and that there are no
obstructions to the camera. Also, aim to keep a distance of at least 50cm between the
device and photo subject.
- Press the mode button again to get into sound mode, this time a pink light will come on
which means it’s ready to record. Press the on/off button once to record sound, the light
will stay constant during recording, press on/off again to stop sound recording.
In Summary: default mode – video record, press mode once – photo mode, press
mode twice – sound mode, press mode 3 times – back to default mode.
- To access webcam mode connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable
supplied ensuring the device is switched on then wait for your computer to recognize
that the camera has been connected. If it doesn’t, use the CD also provided to install the
driver necessary for this feature to work. If the computer fails to recognize the camera,
disconnect and reconnect the USB.
