8. Warranty and Support

The Ourlife Q100 Action Camera is certified with CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, ensuring compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations.

9. User Tips

• Optimal Video Quality: For the best video quality, especially in fast-paced action, ensure your memory card is a high-speed class (e.g., Class 10 or U3) to handle 4K recording efficiently.
• Battery Management: Carry spare charged batteries for extended shooting sessions, as action cameras can consume power quickly, especially with WiFi enabled.
• Waterproof Case Maintenance: Always double-check the waterproof case seal before submerging. A small amount of silicone grease on the O-ring can help maintain its flexibility and seal.
• Experiment with Mounts: Utilize the various included mounts to capture unique perspectives for your videos and photos.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the official Ourlife website or product page for any available firmware updates, which can improve performance and add new features.
