Cleaning

To clean the camera lens, use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. For the camera body, wipe with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Camera not turning on:
  Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the camera to a power source using the USB Type-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Recording issues (e.g., video not saving, error messages):
  Check if a TF card is properly inserted and has sufficient free space. If the card is full, enable loop recording or transfer files to another device and format the card. Ensure the TF card is compatible (up to 128GB).
• Poor video or photo quality:
  Verify that the lens is clean and free from smudges or dust. Ensure adequate lighting in your recording environment. Activate the built-in flashlight if needed.
• Camera freezes or becomes unresponsive:
  Press and hold the Power button for approximately 10 seconds to force a shutdown. If the issue persists, remove and reinsert the TF card, then restart the camera.
