Notes: Windows XP has an integrated WebCam viewer. Your Mobius should be visible in
Explorer (My Computer) as a "USB Video Device". This functionality does not exist in
Windows 7.
With Windows 10 and 11, the system "Camera" App (accessed via the Start Menu) is
recommended as the camera’s web cam viewer. It readily connects to the camera and
allows a number of Photo and Video resolutions/frame rates to be viewed and recorded in
high resolution.
OSD (On Screen Display)
Whenever an external analog TV or monitor is connected to the camera using the
special
USB-C cable the output will be shown on the monitor. See the USB Connections above for
special cable details.
By using the OSD Menu it is possible to modify the camera's parameters, format the SD
card, view the photos on the SD disk and playback video clips on the SD card.
For more information see "Manual configuration using an external monitor (OSD Menu)"
below.
Camera Setup (configuration and date/time setting)
There are three methods in which the camera's date and time can be set or the
parameters modified: A simple text file (works on most operating systems), using the
camera’s internal OSD Video Out method, and using either of the two dedicated
programs (GUI) for Windows.
IMPORTANT!
There are many settngs that conflict with one another or are not
supported by the firmware for all possible resolution/frame rate options. The Manual and
mTool methods do NOT alert the user when a conflicting or unsupported setting is
selected.
When those settings are written into the camera, the FW will either ignore the settng or
replace it with the closest compatible one. This will NOT harm the camera, but you may
not get the results you expect.
The mSetup program method, however, will prevent you from selecting a settng if it’s not
supported by disabling the choice in the program, and it also will alert you to make an
alternate choice in some cases via it’s Tool Tips option (if you haven’t disabled it).
You are strongly advised to use the mSetup method for changing the camera settngs.
The primary conflicts occur between resolution/frame rate, field of view (FOV), lens
distortion correction, (LDC) and electronic image stabilization (EIS).
They are too detailed to be listed here, but you can download a chart that shows all of
these conflicts from this link:

.
Whenever the firmware is updated you will need to set the parameters as well as the
date and time. These are reset to their default values whenever the firmware is updated.
In addition, the date and time will need to be set whenever the battery becomes
discharged or is disconnected.
