RunCam Camera user guide
In addition to the OSD accessed functions, the RunCam has some direct mode controls for LQ/HQ, 50/60 FPS.
5s press and hold left – camera goes into HQ mode (TX power needs to be cycled)
5s press and hold right – camera goes into LQ mode (TX power needs to be cycled)
5s press and hold down – camera alternates between 50 and 60 fps. RX supports only 50FPS
Note 1: HQ mode is 50 FPS, LQ mode is 60 FPS. To change to LQ mode, need to change mode and FPS (first
gen issues). Best to not experiment with LQ immediately and just leave in HQ mode otherwise may need
trouble shooting.
Note 2: green LED flashes when modes change at 5s point.
Note 3: no green light after mode change indicates the camera isn’t communicating with TX and the TX
power needs to be cycled. Green LED indicates communication successful.
Warning: It is possible that the camera can be put into unintended mode by accidentally pressing and holding
the stick. If it appears the camera isn’t working (blank screen) with or without a green LED and you are on the
right channel, do the following; Press and hold 5s stick to left (ensures its in HQ mode). Power cycle TX,
power cycle RX. Ensure on same channel (an HQ channel). Image should be re-‐acquired. If still no image
and LED is GREEN, press and hold down direction for 5s (change FPS – no need to cycle TX power).
