During video capture, do not move the

Why do my video/pictures look distorted on a 
TV screen?

Select the correct TV system.

 

How do I charge the camcorder?

You can charge the camcorder via 

 

the supported USB cable. When you 
connect it to your PC/laptop it will 
automatically charge. You can also connect 
the camcorder to a USB charger via the 
supplied USB cable. 

How long do I have to charge the camcorder?

The camcorder is fully charged for first 

 

usage. The camcorder charge time when 
connected to your PC/laptop is 3 hours. 
When you charge it via USB adaptor, the 
charge time is 2 hours.

Where can I find an adaptor for CAM150 to 
charge the battery?

• 

USB adaptors, which are readily available

Camcorder stopped responding?

In the unlikely event that your camcorder 

 

stops responding, you can manually reset 
it. The reset button is located under the

7 Frequently 

asked questions 
(FAQ)

Why is there no response when I use the 
camcorder?

The camcorder is in power-off mode. Turn 

 

on the camcorder (see ‘Get started’ > 
‘Turn on’).
The built-in battery may be drained. 

 

Charge the battery (see ‘Get started’ > 
‘Charge the built-in battery’).

Why is [Memory full!] displayed when I try to 
record?

Ensure that the Micro SD card has been 

 

inserted correctly (see ‘Get started’ > 
‘Load the Micro SD card’).
The memory is used up. Save your video/

 

pictures to a computer (see ‘Use more of 
your camcorder’ > ‘Transfer video/pictures 
to a PC/Mac’). Then delete files from your 
camcorder or clear the memory.

How much memory is needed for 1 hour of 
Full HD recording?

The CAM150 uses 4GB on average for 

 

1 hour of Full HD video. For a more 
complex video recording (e.g. with lots of 
motions in the video, or a lot of panning), 
the CAM150 will use more memory. This is 
done to maintain the video quality, but will 
increase the usage of memory.

Why do I have no access to folders on the 
camcorder from my computer?

Ensure that the USB connection is correct.

 

The camcorder turns off automatically 

 

15 minutes after it is connected to a 
computer. You can press 

 to turn it on 

again.

Why do my video/pictures look blurry?

Hold the camcorder steady in your hands 

 

during shooting.
