taking a video. Then simply press (quickly - just a click) the power/mode button to change to photo mode. Now each
time you press the shutter button it will take a picture (light goes off and back on straight away). Of course you can
then press the power/mode button again quickly to go back to video mode.
HOW TO TAKE A VIDEO WITH THE POWER LEAD CONNECTED
You can use the camera to record continuous videos up to the limit of the Micro SD card. However the battery in the
camera will only last about one hour, so you need to use the power lead to connect it to power. The power lead is
the one with 2 wires joined together with a USB connector at one end. Please note – this is not a data lead and
cannot be used to access files on the camera. The shorter lead is the data lead and this lead also allows the unit to
charge.
1. Start with the camera off.
2. Press the power/mode button. This turns the LED orange and the camera is now on.
3. Connect the power lead and the LED will now turn red to indicate it is charging
(Note: the LED only turns red if battery is not fully charged already)
4 .Press the shutter button briefly to start the recording. The LED will flash quickly 3 times and then turn off (or if the
battery is not fully charged it will turn red to indicate it is still charging).
5. The camera will continue to record video in 20 minute segments until the limit of the Micro SD card is reached or
until the recording is stopped in the normal way.
Note:
If you are using the camera as a driving cam and you turn off the engine (cutting power to the cigarette lighter
and USB lead) the unit will continue to record while it still has charge in the battery (about 60 minutes if fully
charged). If the battery goes flat it will close and save the video before it turns off. Also, if you are doing continuous
recording and have the unit in a hot place like on the dashboard of a car, the unit may get very hot. If it gets too hot
the unit will automatically shut down and stop recording, but it is best to avoid these situations as overheating may
damage the unit or battery life.
