User Guide

may use different wiring schemes and thus may not work with this camera. To avoid possible
problems, always use a generic power supply.
For recording video or taking pictures using a standard external power supply connection, the USB
power supply can be connected at any time, i.e. before the camera is turned on, before the
recording is started, or after the recording has been started.
►Only use a quality chargers capable of supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of at least
5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current and can lead to premature
battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the camera.
Additional information
The following functions/parameters need additional explanation:
Turn Audio on/ off
With the camera turned on and in one of the two video Standby modes (steady yellow or blue
LED), or while recording, rapidly press the Mode button 2 times. This will toggle the sound on or
off.
If the sound has been toggled to off, the red LED will be shown together with the yellow or blue
LED to indicate the sound will not be recorded.
► Beware - The toggle will remain active even after the camera is turned off.
Loop Recording
Loop recording can be enabled or disabled by software or by using the camera's OSD menu.
By default, Loop Recording is disabled meaning the camera will record clips until the card is full.
The camera will then stop recording and enter standby mode.
If Loop Recording is enabled, the oldest clips will be overwritten when the card is full. As such, the
camera will never stop recording and only the most recent clips will be available on the card.
File Protection (write protect) while recording
The current clip can be Write Protected by briefly pressing (max. 1 second) the Mode button while
the camera is recording. The camera must have loop recording enabled for this function to work.
This will set the file's read-only attribute which will prevent the current recording from being
deleted. The video clip will be moved to the SDs 'LOCKED' folder.
Note that formatting the card will delete all the files, including the protected files with the read-
attribute set.
AE Lock (Auto Ex posure Lock) / AWB Lock (Auto White Balance Lock)
AE Lock (AEL) and AWB Lock (AWBL) are advanced functions first implemented in firmware
version v0.53 and above. Their functionality is disabled by default.
AEL and/or AWBL functionality
must be ex plicitly enabled in the settings parameters. AWBL
functionality requires the White Balance parameter to be set to 'Auto'.
AE/AWB
can be locked while the camera is either in standby mode or recording mode.
To enable AEL/AWBL point the camera at the object you want to correctly exposure and then set
the lock as follows:
l

additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is in) turns on. This
indicates that AEL and/or AWBL is enabled.
l
If the camera is in Standby mode or recording, briefly press the Power button until the
additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is in) turns off. This
indicates that AEL and/or AWBL has been disabled.
l
AEL/AWBL will remain enabled until they are manually disabled or the camera is turned off,
even when stopping a recording and changing modes.
l
An additional icon will be displayed on the external monitor if connected and OSD is enabled.
