The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

To unlock the full potential of your SJ8 PRO, it is very strongly suggested that you use at least a Class 10 U3 card of a known brand, purchased from a reputable seller.
High resolutions and high frame-rates require writing at high speeds. Using a low-speed card may result in erratic camera performance and photos/videos may have issues playing back.
SJ8 PRO supports microSD cards up to 128GB, and can read and write in either FAT32 or ExFAT filing system.
MODE SETTINGS - Page 1

EV • Exposure Value - Adjust the exposure for the amount of light allowed in. Set this value low to compensate if the scene is too bright; set high when too dark. High EV takes longer for images to be taken, and subject may blur if moving.

WHITE BALANCE · Adjusts the color temperature of the recording to compensate for ambient lighting.

COLOR PROFILE • You are given 2 preset choices: SJCAM - Vivid, and Flat. Choose Flat to preserve color dynamics; SJCAM - Vivid to enhance colors.

METERING • Tells the camera which portion of the scene takes priority when setting the brightness level of the whole image. Options: Average, Center Weighted, or Spot.

GYRO SENSOR · Enable the Gyro Sensor to smoothen out shakiness during recording. Disable the Gyro Sensor when not needed, to gain full field-of-view of the set resolution.

ENCODING • H.264 is a standard for writing video files, high compatibility with video players. H.265 is a newer standard that compresses video much better for smaller file sizes and faster streaming, may require you to update your video player's codec.
EV works by controlling how much light is allowed in.

HINT: You will know if the Gyro Sensor is active when you see this blinking hand icon near the battery status display.
MODE SETTINGS - Page 2

VOLUME • Sets the microphone sensitivity for how loud or how soft sound is recorded into the video.
CAUTION: Setting this too high in small, enclosed spaces may distort the recorded audio.

SHARPNESS • Sets how much image detail is saved.
A higher setting will produce sharper images at the expense of file size.
Setting this low will smoothen annoying closely-knit fine lines.

DISTORTION CORRECTION • Enable this setting to remove the fisheye effect that is inherent in wide-angle lenses. NOTE: Minor cropping of the image will occur for this to be possible.
Distortion Correct... On

LOOP RECORDING • Allows continuous recording when the memory card is full by recording over the oldest file in the folder.

FILE SIZE • Manually sets the limit of file size length..
NOTE: Cards formatted in FAT32 will have a maximum file size of 4GB, regardless of resolution or length of recording. Your SJ8 PRO supports ExFAT file format which removes this limitation.

VIDEO QUALITY • Gives you the option of recording video in high bitrate for more image detail per frame, but will result in much bigger file sizes.

Photo Quality Fine
PHOTO QUALITY · Presets for making adjustments on how much detail is written in photos. Options: Fine, Standard, and Economy.

ISO 6400
ISO • Adjusts the image sensor's sensitivity to light. A higher ISO will collect more light at the expense of adding noise (grain) into the image when set too high.

Audio On
AUDIO · Enables or disables sound recording on your video footage.

Time Stamp Off
TIME STAMP • When enabled, will display the date and time of your recording. Great when doing timelapse videos, or for making a documentary. Otherwise just turn it off.

Shutter Speed 1/500
SHUTTER SPEED • Controls how long the image sensor stays "open" to capture an image. Fast shutter speeds allow less light, freezing movement better. Slow shutter speeds allow more light but may blur moving objects. Very long exposure settings are best for night photography.

RAW Off
MODE SETTINGS - Page 4

VideoLapse I Second
VIDEOLAPSE • Takes a series of photos at set intervals to create a video file that is immediately playable without requiring to stitch each image together. This setting is only available in VideoLapse mode.

Shutter Speed 2X
SLOW MOTION • Speeds up very slow objects or scenes such as sunsets for playing back in standard speed to create a video that shows very slow movement. This setting is only available in Slow Motion mode.

Photolapse Interval I Second
PHOTOLAPSE INTERVAL • Sets how far apart each frame is recorded. Longer intervals make slow moving objects like clouds appear to move much faster than short intervals.

Some menu items have screen hints to make it easier to understand and use.

High Efficiency Video Coding
H.265, also known as HEVC (or High Efficiency Video Coding), is a new industry standard in video encoding which writes much smaller video filesizes without compromising image quality.
HEVC is created so that large video files can stream much faster over networks, and have less storage requirement.

WIFI Off
WIFI • Switches WiFi communication to app on or off. When active: scan networks, select your camera's SSID and then connect on your phone before opening the SJCAM app.

WiFi Frequency 2.4 GHz
WIFI FREQUENCY • Switch from either standard 2.4GHz, or 5GHz (faster and farther reach).

Format
FORMAT • Completely erases everything on the memory card, then sets it up as a new drive. SJ8 PRO supports both FAT32 and ExFAT. Format the card to ExFAT on your desktop whenever possible, to allow recording files more than 4GB in size.

Auto Power Off 5 Minutes
AUTO POWER OFF • Automatically turns the camera off at a preset time. Works only if the camera is on standby and not recording.

LCD Off Time 3 Minutes
LCD OFF TIME • Automatically turns the display off at a preset time. To wake up the display, simply tap the screen or short-press any button once.

POWER-RELATED TIPS
• To conserve power, you may turn off the front screen if you are not using it.
- Set the Auto Power Off to 3 minutes to get the most out of your battery's charge. If no activity is detected within this period, your camera will power off.
- Go to LCD Off Time and set it to the shortest possible time. Configure the lightset so you know if you're recording or not.
- Plan your video recordings ahead to maximize battery power.
- When recording, avoid constantly checking the LCD to see if the camera is running. LCDs use up a lot of battery power. Use the indicator lights instead to know the status.
- Your camera uses a Lithium battery, you can charge it even if you only used half the capacity.
- Get a charger and spare battery, it relieves your current battery from stresses of constant usage.
- For faster charging, turn the camera off while it is plugged in.
