Camera Drive |

When connecting the cam using the USB connector
for the first time a box will pop up
"installing drivers" which are the USB mass storage device and video
camera USB device. A new drive will be listed on your pc, as example:
Removable Disk (J;) |
|
Pictures and
Videos |
|
All
media files will be saved to the "DCIM/100HDDVR
folder on the camera drive. Right click any of the media files you created
in the folder for options like Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. What I do is
highlight all media, cut
and paste them to a folder on my pc, this deletes them off camera and saves
them to pc.
20 minutes of recording
time will put you around 1.3 GB.
This cam can do a 45 minute video on full charge.
Pictures are around
350KB each.
File names for all recorded
media start with MINIxxxx |
|
Charging |
|
During charging the green led will
remain solid, when fully charged the green led will shut off.
USB takes about 1 hour 50 minutes to charge if the battery is completely
empty. If the green led does not light and you know the battery is low try
replacing the USB cable, in many cases this solves the problem. |
|
In camera

With USB connected camera
on (red led) press and HOLD the shutter button then disconnect the
USB, then let go of shutter button. After about 5 seconds the red
light will start blinking then the camera will shut off (no led)
format is complete. Note: This will delete everything on card. |

SD Cards |
|
SD cards range from 2-32 GB. The
cards used are the Micro SD/TF/SDHC with storage space 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB.
Tip: TF = TransFlash, SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity. Your local
computer store may sell these cards but you will probably find them cheaper
online. The higher the class number (2, 4, 6...) the faster the read/write
speed. Transcend, Kinston, and SanDisk are popular
brands. 4GB class 4 or higher recommended. Class numbers will be circled, see pic
below.
Class is the rate in
which data flows to and from the card.
Example:
Class 2 = 2MB/second
Class 8 = 8MB/second
Class 10 = 10MB/second
This is the minimum data transfer for each card.
When inserting
the SD card the brass pins on card will face towards back of camera.
To remove or
insert SD card push card IN
until you hear a "click" sound.
