button 

then “Confirm”       . Once this mode is selected, a real time image will appear

on your TV screen (or PMP). When in VF      mode all record functions are disabled. TV
mode is automatically activated when the AV cable is connected to the ATC5K and TV. 

6.  If PB       mode is selected the function keys will be shown on the TV screen. The

function keys include Previous      , Pause/Play      , Stop      , Next       and Delete      .

6. Open the “100ATC5K” folder in the [DCIM] folder to start selecting your desired

video files. Copy the desired video to your MAC.

7. While in either mode, to change to the other, users must disconnect from their MAC

and reconnect going through the entire selection procedure again. 

8. The camera will use power from the computer.

Note:

The ATC5K comes with a webcam stand. Please use this
when using your ATC5K as a webcam.

7. Press the Menu button 

to move the highlight cursor along the function keys.

8. Press the Confirm button        when the desired function key is highlighted.
9. To delete one file, select the Delete-One icon       and confirm by pressing 

the Confirm button        .

viewable on your TV or PMP. The use of buttons with record functions are disabled in
this mode. To return to the menu simply unplug the AV cables.

XIII) Troubleshooting

There's no display

-Are the batteries properly installed?
-Do the batteries need replacing?

After the ATC5K is connected to my PC, it cannot find the new drive in the,
'My Computer' folder

-Ensure each end of the ATC5K USB cable is properly and firmly connected.
-Ensure your USB port is working properly. Try connecting another USB

device into the port. If the other device does not work, the USB port may
have a malfunction. In this case, contact your system manufacturer or
the manufacturer of your USB card.

I can't capture video footage

-Ensure there is enough space on the internal memory of ATC5K or the 

SD card; the display will tell you how much time there is left for video 
recording.

-Ensure the SD card is not locked. The LCD will display a message if the   

SD card is locked.

The remaining time is not accurate

-The remaining time is an estimate.
-The remaining time depends not only on the time recorded, but on the

color density of the video footage. Under conditions with high contrast, 
such as outdoors, the actual time available will be less than under 
low-contrast conditions.

I can't play the video footage on my television

-Ensure each end of the AV cable is properly and firmly connected to

ATC5K and to your television. 

-Ensure the ATC5K and television are both turned on.
-Ensure you have selected PB      to view files.

Some captured video footage cannot be found when SD card is inserted

-The video footage may be stored on the internal memory. Connect the 

ATC5K to your PC without an SD card, and it will show the files

in the internal memory.

The sound is very low or there is no sound

- Ensure the audio is on by following the instructions in the Sound 

Recording section.
