Sealing your camera
The waterproof housing allows the camera to be used up to 10 metres under water. You must seal the
camera with the back cover in order to protect the camera when using it in wet or damp conditions.
To secure the back cover
• Attach the back cover to the back of the camera and rotate clockwise until the two black dots
are aligned
• Slide the latch on the back cover to lock it
• To open, slide the latch on the back cover to loosen it. Rotate the cover anticlockwise until the white and
black dots are aligned
Note: Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera.
Note: The rubber seal on the back cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet
and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean, as a single strand of hair or grain of
sand can cause a leak.
Note: After each use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with
clean, salt-free water, and dry. Not doing this can cause corrosion of the product or failure
in the seal which in turn could damage the product.

Record videos
Before you start recording, select the video resolution by switching the ‘Video Resolution Switch’
There are two methods available for starting the video record function:
• Whether the camera power is ON or OFF, simply slide the ‘Recording Slide Switch’
from ‘STOP’ to ‘REC’
to start recording
• When your camera is OFF and the ‘Recording Slide Switch’
is in the ‘REC’ position, press and hold the ‘Power’
button
to turn the camera ON and it will start recording
When starting a video recording, a short vibration will indicate that recording has started. The LED indicator will illuminate
RED throughout the recording.
There are two methods available for stopping the video record function:
• Move the ‘Recording Slide Switch’
from ‘REC’ to ‘STOP’ to stop recording. The camera will vibrate and the LED
indicator will illuminate GREEN to indicate the recording has stopped. The camera will then enter standby mode
• Hold the ‘Power’ button
to stop the recording and turn the camera off. The camera will vibrate for two seconds
and the red LED light will turn off
Note: An additional low-res video file with the file name ACTPXXXX_thm.mov (XXXX is 4 numeric digit) will be created
simultaneously with the recording of an HD/FHD video file. The smaller video file size allows for more efficient
uploading of content to social media sites and email. The resolutions of the additional videos are 432x240 when
recording 1080p/720p and 320x240 when recording 960p.
Note: Changing the video resolution is disabled during video recording.
Note: There will be about a 1-2 second delay before the camera starts recording.
Note: The various video resolution options for HD and FHD can be changed under the ‘Settings’ option in the software.
Note: Ensure that there is sufficient memory available on the micro SD card. If the card is full, the camera will vibrate for
five seconds and the green LED will flash continuously.
