See What You Shot
Recorded Content
You have several options to play back and watch the videos you shot with the .
The first is to view the video files on your computer with StoryTeller. Playing video back in
StoryTeller has the distinct advantage of seeing the GPS data displayed in a Google Maps pop-up
window along with the video. To play back videos in StoryTeller, start by downloading and installing
our StoryTeller software. You can get it by visiting contour.com/software/storyteller. We offer
versions for both PC and Mac.
After the software is installed, plug the camera in to your computer using the USB cable. The USB
port [I] on the camera is located right next to the microSD card slot. It may take a few moments
for your computer to recognize the camera. Once recognized, the camera will be listed in the My
Computer window (or the Finder window on a Mac). The camera will also be listed in the upper left
corner of the StoryTeller main window under the Devices section.
From within StoryTeller, click on the camera and your videos will show up in the main window of
StoryTeller. Each video clip will display a thumbnail from the first frame of the video. To watch or
share your videos click on one (or several) of the videos and press the IMPORT SELECTED button. To
get all of your videos at once, just click the IMPORT ALL button.
When your videos have been imported, you can find them in the Movies section of the Library,
located in the left pane. Choose the movie you want to watch and click play.
A second way to view your videos is to navigate directly to the video files on your camera from
a computer. Plug your camera into your computer with USB cable. After a few moment, your
computer should recognize and mount the camera’s file system, just as it would do with a USB
thumb drive. Navigate to the mounted camera from My Computer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Open
the DCIM folder and then the 100MEDIA folder. Your video clips are stored in this directory in .MOV
format. Any player that recognizes .MOV format video files can be used to play these clips. Apple’s
QuickTime Player is the most common tool for playing .MOV files, but VLC and newer versions of
Window’s Media Player will also play .MOV videos.
Live View
You can use the HDMI port on the back of the camera to get a live view of what your camera is
seeing. Plug the provided HDMI cable in to the back of your camera and then plug the other end
in to the HDMI input on a TV or monitor. Power that camera on and in a few seconds you will be
seeing a live feed from your camera. The HDMI port will continue to stream video to the monitor
regardless if the camera is recording video or in standby mode.
