• Storage: Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the camera regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• SD Card Management: Periodically back up important files from the Micro SD card to a computer. Format the SD card regularly (e.g., monthly) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
