4.1 Charging up Your Camera
Charge the camera by connecting it to a 5 VDC USB charging source. The red LED
illuminates to indicate the camera is charging and turns off as soon as the camera is fully
charged. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the camera.
4.2 Inserting a Memory Card
Insert a MicroSD card (not included) before using your camera. Ensure that the camera
power is turned OFF before inserting the card into the slot or removing it.
Notes
1.
There is only one correct direction to insert the
MicroSD card into the slot. Do not force the card into
the card slot as it may damage both the camera and
the MicroSD card.
2.
A new MicroSD card should be formatted before
using. For more information, please see section 5.
4.3 Set up Date and Time
You can set the camera’s clock with the utility software to ensure that your video and photo
files are saved with the correct date/ time information.
To set up the camera clock
1.
Connect the camera to your Windows or Mac computer using the supplied USB
cable.
2.
Open the Windows or Mac software utility. Refer to section 5.2 for full details on how
to run the utility programs.
3.
Locate the “Date and Time” options near the bottom of the window. Click the "Set"
button.
4.
Manually adjust the date and time or click the “Sync with PC” button set the camera
to the same time as your PC.
5.
Click “OK” to save the settings.
6.
After you have made the change, immediately disconnect the camera from the PC.
This will cause the changes to take effect.
4.4 Sealing Your Camera
The Waterproof Housing lets the camera perform at depths up
to 10 meters (about 30 feet) under water. You must seal the
camera with Back Cover in order to protect the camera when
using it in wet or moist conditions.
To secure the Back Cover
1.
Attach the Back Cover to the back of the camera and
rotate clockwise until the two solid dots are aligned
2.
Slide the latch on the Back Cover to the lock
position.
To open the back cover, slide the latch on the back cover
out of the "lock" position. Rotate the cover
counterclockwise until the hollow dot is aligned with the
solid dot.
Notes:
1.
Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that could damage or destroy
your camera. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.
2.
The rubber seal on the Back Cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the
camera in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as even a
single strand of hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.
3.
After every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the
seal with non-salt water and dry it thoroughly. Failure to properly clean the camera
could cause corrosion in the product or failure in the seal, which in turn, would
damage the product.
4.5 Power On & Power Off
To power the camera ON:
Press and hold the
button. The camera will vibrate and the Green LED will turn on.
To power the camera OFF:
Press and hold the
button. The camera will vibrate for about two seconds and the
Green LED will turn off.
4.6 Recording Videos
Before starting any recording, select the video resolution 1080p (1920x1080) or 720p
(1280x720) by switching the Video Resolution Switch. There are two ways to start video
recording. When starting a video recording, a short vibration indicates recording has
commenced. The LED indicator illuminates RED throughout the recording.
1.
Whether the camera power is ON or OFF, simply slide the
switch towards the
camera front to start recording. The red REC mark will be visible and the LED will
glow red.
2.
If your camera is OFF and the
switch is already at the REC location, press
and hold the
button to turn the camera ON and start recording.
Slide the
switch backward to stop recording. You will see the green STOP mark,
the camera will vibrate, and the LED indicator will change to GREEN. The camera will then
automatically enter Standby mode.
Alternatively, you can simply hold the
button for several seconds, which will stop the
recording and turn the camera off. The camera will vibrate for about two seconds and the
Red LED light will turn off.
Notes:
1.
You cannot change the video resolution while recording is in progress.
2.
There will be about a 2-3 seconds delay before the camera starts recording.
3.
Ensure there is sufficient memory available on the MicroSD card. If the card is full,
the camera will vibrate for five seconds and the Green LED will flash continuously.
4.7 Taking Photos
1.
Power on the camera by pressing the
button.
2.
After the camera power has been turned on, press the
button to take a photo. A
short vibration and a flash of the Green LED indicate that the action was successful.
Notes:
1.
The Still Photo function is disabled during video recording.
2.
If the card is full, the camera will vibrate for five seconds and the Green LED will flash
continuously.
4.8 Auto Rotation
The camera has a built-in gyroscopic sensor, which is able to detect the camera's
orientation. If the camera is mounted upside down, for example, the recording is rotated so
that it plays back with the proper orientation. This allows you to mount the camera in
different orientations without recording a rotated or inverted view.
Notes
1.
Auto Rotation only applies to video recording. Still photos use a fixed orientation.
2.
The camera orientation will not change while recording is in progress. Ensure the
orientation is set properly before starting a recording.
3.
You can disable the auto rotation function using the software utility.
