Audio: turns the microphone on/off.

Wind filter: activating this feature improves the audio when recording in a windy environment.

Low light: activating this feature improves the image when

recording in low light. Activating the feature may reduce the set number of frames per second (fps) of the video. The feature is available when video recording is set to 60 fps or more.

Exposure: exposure compensation settings. The higher the positive value, the brighter the video; the lower the negative value, the darker the video.

Exposure measurement: sets the method for measuring (determining) exposure of the recorded scene.

Time stamp: allows turning the addition of time stamps (time and date) into recorded video on or off.

PHOTO MODE SETTINGS

Resolution: sets the resolution of the photos you take.

Continuous Shot: determines how many photos are taken by the camera one after another when the shutter release is pressed. If the feature is turned off, the camera will only take one photo at a time. The feature is available if it is selected in the mode quick menu. See chapter Touch Controls.

Timelapse: time interval settings for a timelapse photo. The feature is available if it is selected in the mode quick menu. See chapter Touch Controls.

Timelapse length: you can set the time for which the timelapse photos will be captured. Once the set time elapses, the camera will stop taking timelapse photos

Quality: settings for the quality of photos. The feature is available if it is selected in the mode quick menu. See chapter Touch Controls.

Timer: sets a time interval for delayed shutter release. The feature is available if it is selected in the mode quick menu. See chapter Touch Controls.

Exposure times: allows setting exposure time, i.e. the length of time for which the camera will be capturing a single photo. Suitable e.g. for taking photos at night. Use this feature when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Photos taken this way may have some digital noise. This can be removed in various photo editing software. The feature is available if it is selected in the mode quick menu. See

chapter Touch Controls.

ISO: ISO value setting.

Exposure: exposure compensation settings. The higher the positive value, the brighter the photo; the lower the negative value, the darker the photo.

Exposure measurement: sets the method for measuring (determining) exposure of the photo.

Time Stamp: allows turning the addition of time stamps (time and date) into captured photos on or off.

CAMERA SETTINGS

Sound effects: allows activating/deactivating system sounds (sound when taking a photo, button sounds and sound when turning the camera on/off) and adjusting the volume of system sounds.

Field of view: allows adjusting the field of view. Creates a digital section from the native field of view of the lens.

Diving mode: mode for adjusting colour balance when recording underwater.

Colour effect: sets various colour effects.

Fisheye reduction: turns electronic reduction of fisheye effect on/off by reducing the field of view (FOV). The feature is unavailable while X-STEADY stabilisation is active.

Image rotation: allows rotating the image on the screen.

Screensaver: sets the time after which the camera screen turns off (does not affect video recording). You can reactivate the screen by tapping the screen or pressing any of the camera control buttons.

Automatic shutdown: sets the camera to switch off automatically when idle. When the feature is active, the camera shuts down after the set time as long as it is not recording video.

Frequency: frequency setting (50 Hz for Europe, 60 Hz for the USA). White balance: adjusts the white balance for different kinds of scene lighting.

Date and time: date and time settings.

Language: camera menu language setting.

Format: erases all data on the memory card.

System: allows accessing information about the camera's firmware, information about the memory card (capacity and remaining free space) and enables performing a factory reset (resets the camera to the original factory settings).

WATERPROOFNESS

The camera is resistant to submersion in water as long as the camera is inside the waterproof case, and as long as the following conditions are met:

The case is resistant to submersion up to a depth of 30 meters.

Before using the camera inside the case underwater, make sure the back hatch of the case is properly closed via the mechanism on the top of the case. The hatch and the sealing of the case must be free of dust, dirt, sand etc. If the case was used in salt water, wash it with drinking water afterwards. Do not dry the case with textile fabrics or external heat sources (hair dryer, microwave etc.), always leave the case to air dry on its own. The touch control screen of the camera cannot be used when the camera is in the case. Control the camera using the buttons instead.

Attention: the camera is not waterproof without the case! Use only with the original case to ensure waterproofness.

MICROSD CARD

Always use a brand-name microSD card of type USH-I U3 with fast video writing capability and capacity of up to 64 GB. Before using the SD card in the camera for the first time, the card must be formatted on a PC to a FAT32 file system. Only format the card using software designed for the purpose.

Place the SD card into the slot with the pins facing towards the camera lens (front of the camera). Insert the SD card into the camera by clicking it in place. Remove by reversing the motion.

Attention: format the memory card regularly on a PC to avoid video recording errors. More information about the use of the card and its formatting will be provided by the manufacturer of the SD card.

BATTERY/CHARGING

To insert or remove the battery, open the cover on the underside of the camera. Charge the camera by connecting the enclosed USB cable into the USB port (11) on the left side of the camera and connecting the other end to a charging adapter e.g. from a mobile phone (5 V voltage and minimum current of 1 A). The camera can also be charged by connecting the USB cable to a PC or a power bank.

Attention: fully charge the battery before first use. Do not subject the camera to large temperature swings. Keep the battery and camera under watch during charging. Charge time is dependent on the output current of the charging adapter. The camera will charge faster when it is turned off.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A PHONE VIA WI-FI

on the phone and leave only Wi-Fi turned on. The application is compatible with mobile phones with iOS 9.0 and later or with Android 8.0 and later.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A PC

Connect the camera to a PC using a USB data cable. After connection, the camera screen will show the following modes:

1. External drive: you can use the PC to manage files stored on the memory card inside the camera (the camera acts as an external drive connected to the PC).
2. PC camera: can be used as a PC camera for software that allows the connection of an external camera.
3. Ready for use: the camera remains on and can be used as a normal camera. It will also be charged from the PC.
4. Charging: turns the camera off and starts charging it. Allows the camera to charge faster.
