6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FOSA Sports Camera:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution to avoid scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to preserve battery health.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the camera regularly, even if not in use, to maintain battery capacity.
• Memory Card: Periodically back up your data from the memory card to a computer or cloud storage. Format the memory card in the camera regularly to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.

• Cannot record video/take photos:
  • Check if a memory card is inserted correctly and has sufficient free space.
  • Ensure the camera is in the correct mode (video or photo).

• Poor image/video quality:
  • Clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Ensure adequate lighting. Use the built-in flashlight if necessary.
  • Check the camera's settings to ensure it's set to 1080P resolution.
