Taking Photos

an amber light flashes once but the blue light will always be on. The pen camera automatically turn off after
one minute if no photos are taken.

To get the best result when taking pictures, keep the pen and your subject as steady as possible.
Switching from Photo to Video Mode
To switch from photo to video mode unscrew and remove the lower half of the pen. Hold the top half of the
pen with the clip facing away from you and the USB plug on top. Using the tip of the pen or a paper clip slide
the photo/video mode switch to the right. Left is photo mode and right is video mode. Screw the bottom half
back onto the top half.
Recording a Video
Press the operation button to turn the camera on and start recording. The amber light will turn on for a second
or two then switch to solid blue. Once it switches to blue you are recording.
The blue light will stay on while recording. Press the operation button once to pause the video recording. The
indicator light will turn solid amber while the video is paused. The pen camera will automatically turn off if left
in pause mode for more than one minute. Press the operation button once to start recording again.
To turn the pen camera off press and hold the operation button for three seconds or until the blue light turns
amber. After the blue light turns amber it will automatically shut off.
Make sure there is adequate light in the surrounding area and the camera lens is not blocked by other items.
Keep the pen camera upright and stable. The object should be more than 20 inches from the pen camera. In
order to ensure good sound when recording, do not block the microphone hole.
If the pen camera stops responding, gently press the reset button once. Use a suitable non-metallic tool
such as a toothpick.
