Setup Guide

1. Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the camera battery. Connect the included charge cable to the camera's USB-C port and a power source (e.g., USB wall adapter, computer USB port). The indicator light will show charging status.

2. Inserting the MicroSD Card

Locate the MicroSD card slot on the side of the camera. Insert the provided 64GB MicroSD card with the gold contacts facing the front of the camera until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is properly seated to avoid data loss.

3. Powering On/Off

To power on, press and hold the Power button until the screen lights up. To power off, press and hold the Power button until the camera shuts down.

4. Connecting to the Insta360 App

For full functionality and advanced controls, download the official Insta360 app on your smartphone. Turn on the camera's Wi-Fi (usually accessible via the touch screen swipe-down menu) and connect your phone to the camera's Wi-Fi network. Follow the in-app instructions for initial setup and firmware updates.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Controls

• Power Button: Press and hold to power on/off. Short press to switch modes or confirm selections.
• Shutter Button: Press to start/stop recording or take a photo.
• Touch Screen: Swipe to navigate menus, tap to select options, and preview your shots.

2. Shooting Modes

• 360 Mode: Captures footage from all directions, allowing you to reframe your shot later in the app. Ideal for immersive content.
• Steady Cam Mode: Uses one of the lenses to capture ultra-stable, wide-angle footage, similar to a traditional action camera.
