Micro Memory Cards
•
In the slot to the left, insert your micro memory card with the gold leads facing up.
•
Be sure that the memory card clicks into place. You may need to use your fingernail to push it in far enough to lock.
•
To prevent possible problems with your camera, use only Class 6 or above micro memory cards.
•
Beware of counterfeit cards.
•
We recommend that you use a Class 6, 8GB Micro Memory card or larger. These will give you longer recording times so that
you can be record more action without having to stop and load a new card.
•
4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB cards are all compatible with your camera.
•
With a 4GB card you will get 1 hour of video.
Recording Video
•
Once your batteries and memory card have been inserted, turn on your Micro camera by pushing (but not holding) the
START/STOP
button. You will hear a beep sound
and see the green LED, quickly followed by the red.
•
That's it! You have begun shooting video!
•
To stop filming, push and hold down the
START/STOP
button again.
•
You will hear a double beep sound and the red LED will turn off.
•
When in video mode, the Tachyon Micro will record superior-quality VGA video. The Micro HD will record in 720p HD.
•
After you have been recording for 30 minutes, your camera will pause for five seconds to save your file to your memory card. But don’t worry; it will automatically start up
again after those five seconds.
•
You will be able to edit your video with most common editing programs. Always try to edit and save your videos at the best resolution that you can (but not necessarily
higher than the original file). Then, when you upload to a video-sharing site, your videos will look their best.
•
A 4GB Micro Memory card will hold just over one hour of video. Larger cards will hold multiples of that amount.
