the 6x model, to reduce the IR LED brightness to its lowest setting, indicated by “IR1” in the display.
• Press the “IR” button again to switch off the IR LED light. “IR0” will be shown at the lower center of the display. Switching off the
IR LED when ambient light levels are adequate for viewing without it (full moon, near streetlights, etc.) will extend battery life
and running time. Press the “IR” button once again to switch to DAY Mode-no IR value will be indicated.
IMAGE BRIGHTNESS BUTTON (E)
The Image Brightness (Sun Icon) button can be used to change the digital imaging frame rate and/or LCD backlight level,
affecting the viewing brightness.
• Pressing the Brightness (Sun icon) button repeatedly will cycle through the available frame rates, beginning with the default
frame rate (fastest), until the last (slowest, brightest) frame rate is reached. After that, the next press of the button returns back
to the original fastest rate. The default, fastest frame rate in Night Mode is 25fps. Pressing the Brightness button cycles through
the other frame rate settings, with the third press returning to the default again: 25fps>15fps>8fps>25fps>etc.
• In Day Mode, the default frame rate is 30fps. The frame rate cannot be changed in Day Mode, therefore the Brightness button will
have no effect. The display is a color LCD, and images will appear in color in daytime use, or in strong artificial lighting conditions.
• Press and hold the Brightness (Sun icon) button for 2 sec to toggle the LCD backlight level between HIGH (default setting) and
LOW (50% level). The display will indicate “BACKLIGHT LOW (or HIGH)”. This allows you to quickly make a significant change in
viewing brightness, and also provides a greater total range of adjustment, as you can still cycle through the frame rates (by
quickly pressing the Brightness button) at both High and Low backlight settings. The LCD backlight level can be toggled between
High and Low settings in Day Mode as well (but the frame rate cannot be changed, as it is fixed at 30fps).
NOTE: selecting frame rates lower than the default 25fps in Night Mode will provide a brighter image, however the decreased frame
rate may cause moving subjects to appear less smooth or stable when viewed.
RECORD BUTTON (F)
The Record button is used to capture still photos or videos of the image being viewed, dependent on the setting of the Photo/
Video switch. The photos and/or videos are stored on a (user supplied) micro SD card, with up to 32GB capacity. The unit has
no internal memory.
• When the unit is in Photo Mode, pressing the record button will take a single photo of the displayed image, standard .jpg format,
