The Video Recording Display Screen

When you turn on the POV.1.5 it is placed in Standby mode, and ready for you to 

record video. The display of the POV.1.5 Recorder provides you with some basic 

information about the status of the unit. 

The status light at the top of the display is green when the unit is in standby 

• 

When the unit is in Standby mode this displays the amount of recording time 

remaining on the SDHC card based on the current resolution, frame rate, and 

video quality settings. 

• 

When the unit is in Record mode the Time Status will change to show you the 

time that has elapsed since you started recording. 

Below the Time Status is an icon that shows approximately how much power is left 

in the battery. 

• 

If your battery power is low the icon will start flashing as a warning and 

reminder to change the batteries. 

Recording in Clip Mode

To record in Clip mode simply press the RECORD button on the main unit or the 

REC/TAG button on the wireless remote control to begin recording. 
During recording you can Tag important points in the video to make them easier 

to locate when viewing or editing the video with the POV Manager software. 

• 

To place a tag in the video press the TAG soft key (SOFT KEY 2) on the main   

unit or the REC/TAG button on the wireless remote control. 

To stop recording press the RECORD button on the POV.1.5 Recorder or the STOP 

button on the remote control. 

Recording in Loop Mode

Loop mode allows you to save a video segment of a pre-defined duration by hitting 

the TAG soft key on the POV.1.5 Recorder or the REC/TAG button on the remote 

control. Loop mode makes it easy to leave the POV.1.5 in recording mode all day, 

and just save the best hour or two’s worth of video on the SDHC card. 
In Loop record mode the POV.1.5 records a continuous loop of video clips that 

are all of the same duration. For example, if the POV.1.5 is set to record 3 minute 

loops, it will record a series of 3 minute loops for as long as the unit is in Loop
