An action camera with dual purpose. When combined with a car charger, your Olfi will
start to record as soon as your engine is switched on, and will automatically stop
recording 2 minutes after you’ve switched the engine off.
Press the down scrolling key on the side of the camera to quickly access the shortcut menu for this
Mode and change some of the most popular settings.
Two other important settings to consider when using Dashcam Mode are
License No set
(a stamp of your car license plate
details on your footage) and
Time/Date
(setting the time and date on your Camera).
CAUTION:
Operating your camera while driving is dangerous. Use Power on Record mode to get your camera to automatically
start recording when you turn on your ignition. For an explanation of what each adjustable setting is, plus what to change and
when, please see
Setup Menu (Pages 14-22).
If you use your camera as a dashcam, we strongly recommend having a specific battery for Dashcam mode.
Consistently powering and recording will make your battery deteriorate quicker. Why not simply mark one
battery to identify which is your dedicated dashcam battery, and save your other batteries for normal use to
keep you recording for longer?

You can combine Burst Mode with Motion Detection Mode by accessing the quick menu when in Burst
Mode and enabling Motion Detection. Set up your camera, press the shutter button and as soon as motion
is detected, the camera will take a series of burst shots to capture the movement in a sequence. A good
option for a pre-planned action shot, or setting up a prank!

Say Cheeeeeese!
The Olfi can product some truly fantastic photography. We’re not claiming it’s
DSLR quality as you can’t increase the shutter speed past auto (1/60) but
you can slow it down to create some Instagram or Pinterest worthy snaps
that followers will be sure to like or pin. For all long exposure shots, we
seriously recommend mounting the camera on something stable and static to
get the best results – usually a tripod, or you will almost certainly get some
blur. You will also need to lower your ISO setting to compensate for the
brighter image produced by longer exposure, as it lets more light in, and one
last thing, we also find that having distortion correction set to off will generally
help you get the best from you long exposure shot.
