ON

” to enable the tick tone or OFF to mute the tick 

tone.
Note: This parameter cannot be set to mute the prompt tones for shooting and video 
recording. Instead, this parameter can only be set to mute the tone generated upon 
pressing a key on the TFT screen and no-operation prompt tones.

b. 

Status indicator: After choosing the required menu, set this parameter to ON (turning on 
the status indicator) or OFF (turning off the status indicator). By default, set this 
parameter to ON.

c. 

Video content loop: When this parameter is set to ON, a recorded video file is 
automatically saved once by segment every 15 minutes. When this parameter is set to 
OFF, a recorded video file is automatically saved once by segment every 30 minutes.

Auto to standby: Set this parameter to OFF, 2 mins, 5 mins, or 10 mins. You can select the
time for automatic standby. After presetting the time, the system starts counting time 
when there is no task or operation. When the preset time is reached, the SD21 video 
camera disables the input/output and enters standby mode. During time counting, the 
system restarts counting time if any tasks or operations are carried out. During the 
standby period, the Kogan 3+ Action Camera starts working if the Video, Photo, or Stop 
key is pressed. In factory setting, this parameter is set to OFF.

output on a TV set. A black screen appears for two seconds during switchover between 
the NTSC and PAL systems, and this situation is normal.
Note: Before using the video camera, select NTSC or PAL depending on your region. 
After the video system is selected, the light source frequency also changes to avoid 
image blinking during video recording.

G-Sensor: If this parameter is set to “

ON

”, the video camera starts video recording when 

the video camera is shaken or when the vehicle starts. If the video camera does not shake
or when the vehicle stops, the video camera stops video recording in about three 
minutes. By default, this parameter is set to OFF.

Standard

” by default. To improve the image effect 

during night shooting, set this parameter to “

Enhanced

”.

h. 

ISO sensitivity: This parameter is set to Auto by default. To improve the image effect 
during night shooting, set this parameter to “

Low lux

”.

i. 

Metering: Set this parameter to “

Average

” by default to ensure the general exposure 

effect. If the central area is dark but the surrounding area is bright, set this parameter to 

Central Area

” to improve the imaging effect in the central dark area. If the central area is
