disabled. 
When the special A/V cable is connected, automatic power-off will be disabled. This 
prevents signal loss during fpv use when the standby time times out.

the camera will automatically begin recording in Mode 1 as soon as the power 
button is pressed or external power is connected. If the recording LED has 
been disabled, the yellow (or blue) LED will slowly flash 3 times and then turn 
off, indicating that recording has started. Otherwise the yellow LED will slowly 
flash at 2 second intervals indicating that the camera is recording. 

 

If the camera has been configured with "Auto Record" set to OFF (default 
setting), the camera will switch to Video Mode 1 (yellow LED) and remain in 
standby mode until a button is pressed or Auto-Power-Off times out.  

 
Turn off Camera

  

Power-Off can be configured as "fast" or "delayed". In fast mode, the camera will turn 
off almost immediately after the Power Button is pressed. In delayed mode, press 
and hold the Power Button for 3-4 seconds until the Red LED flashes. The camera 
will then turn off.  
 

Switching between modes

  

The camera can be switched between the different modes by pressing the Mode 
button. Each button click advances the camera to the next mode. Video Mode1 - 
Video Mode2 - Photo Mode - Video Mode1 etc.  
 

Recording Video Mode 1 or 2 (yellow or blue LED)

 If the recording LED has been disabled, the yellow or blue LED will slowly 

blink 3 times and then turn off, indicating that recording has started. 

 

 If the recording LED has been enabled, the yellow or blue LED will slowly
