A Micro SD card (not included) is required for recording. Use a high-speed card (U3 or higher) for optimal performance, especially for 4K video.

• Insert the Micro SD card with the contacts facing the correct direction until it clicks into place.
• To remove, gently push the card in until it springs out.

3. Waterproof Case Usage

While the camera is natively waterproof to 33FT, the included waterproof housing extends its depth rating to 131FT (40M) and provides additional protection against impacts.

• Before placing the camera in the housing, ensure the housing's seal is clean and free of debris.
• Place the camera carefully into the housing.
• Close the latch securely, ensuring a tight seal.
• Always perform a dry test of the housing without the camera before deep water use.
