Instruction manual
Q. Playback is erratic or stutters or the playback colors are psychedelic or the video
flashes, has corrupted blocks etc.
A. Always first copy the video file from the memory card to your hard drive.
•
Your PC or graphics card may not be powerful enough to playback the video
stream.
•
You may not have enough memory installed in your PC.
•
Use VLC Media Player. Window Media Player often chokes on underpowered
machines.
•
Psychedelic colors may also indicate problems with the CMOS lens module.
Make sure the CMOS lens cable is correctly seated and not cracked. The lens
cable is very fragile.
Q. When I turn on the camera the yellow LED tuns on but the I can't take a video or
photo. The shutter button doesn't react.
A. .Most likely you have dropped the camera and the ribbon cable which connects the
lens assembly to the circuit board has become dislodged. You will have to open the
camera, remove the battery and very carefully reseat the ribbon cable. Instructions on
how to remove the lens assembly can be found in the simple instruction manual pdf file
which was supplied with the camera.
