ViviLink Button 

 

The ViviLink button (located under the LCD screen) allows you to easily and quickly define which 

social network your captured image (video or photo) will be uploaded to when using the software 

application. 

1)  While in Video Capture mode, press the 

ViviLink

 button. 

2)  The ViviLink for Videos Menu opens. 

3)  Press the 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 button to highlight the desired menu option.   

4)  Press the 

SET

 button to select and save the highlighted menu option. 

5)  A 

selected option icon will appear on the selected item and you will return to the previous 

mode. 

6)  An icon reflecting your selection will display on the LCD screen. 

7)  Once you have selected the ViviLink destination site, the selection applies only to the current video 

you are capturing. 

 

Remember:

    The ViviLink feature is deactivated by default, therefore select the ViviLink 

destination before capturing a video. A ViviLink destination will only be assigned to a photo or 

video if you manually set it from the ViviLink menu. 

 

Changing the ViviLink destination site will also make the selected site the new default ViviLink 

option. A new default can be selected at any time using this menu. 

 

After you have captured a video and would like to add the ViviLink (or change the ViviLink if it 

already has one) you can do so by viewing the captured video(s) in the 

Video Playback Mode

 

and pressing the 

MENU

 button to access the ViviLink for Videos Menu.
