6. Connecting to Computer
To transfer recorded files to your computer, connect the camera using the provided USB cable. The camera will appear as a removable disk drive, allowing you to access and copy your video, audio, and photo files.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: If storing for extended periods, charge the batteries to about 50% capacity. Avoid fully discharging batteries for long-term storage.
8. Troubleshooting
- Camera does not power on:
- Ensure the battery is properly installed and charged. Connect the camera to the charging dock or directly via USB cable to confirm charging status.
- Battery life is shorter than expected:
- Recording at higher resolutions (2K/1440P) or continuous use of night vision will consume more power. Ensure both batteries are fully charged. Consider reducing video resolution if extended recording time is critical.
- Charging dock not charging the camera:
- Check the power connection to the dock. If the issue persists, try charging the camera directly using the USB cable.
- Footage appears black and white:
- This indicates that the camera's night vision mode is active. This is normal behavior in low-light or dark conditions. You can typically disable auto night vision in the camera settings if desired, though color recording will not be possible in very low light.
- Cannot transfer files to computer:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the camera and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. Verify that the camera is in the correct USB mode (e.g., Mass Storage) if prompted.
