Always restart the camera after formatting.

  

• Lens Cleaning: If footage appears hazy, check if the lens is dirty with dust or fingerprints. Before shooting, wipe the lens head with lens paper.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during normal operation, refer to the following solutions:

• Cannot take photos or videos: Check if the TF card has enough space and is not locked.
• Recording stops automatically: Due to large HD video data, use a high-speed TF card compatible with SDHC (Class 10 or above).
• "File Error" appears during playback: An error occurred during data storage, resulting in incomplete files. Use the camera's "Format" function to reformat the TF card.
• Footage looks hazy: Check if the lens is dirty. Clean with lens paper before shooting.
• Image is very dark (sky/water scenes): In high-contrast scenes, the camera's exposure function may be affected. Adjust the "EV" value in the machine's settings menu.
• Horizontal stripe interference in image: Caused by incorrect "light source frequency" settings. Set to "50Hz" or "60Hz" according to local power supply frequency.
• Machine crashes: Briefly press the reset button to restore the machine to normal operation.
