In-Camera Formatting
The Camera contains a built-in formatter which may be used to format the SD card. Do
not format SDXC cards (cards with a capacity of 64GB and more) see below "Breaking
the Rules". In-Camera formatting is best done using Nr16Setup.exe (see below) but can
also be done as follows:
• Connect the Camera as a Removable disk (see above).
• Press and hold down the Shutter button. DO NOT RELEASE the button.
• Disconnect the camera from the computer.
• After about 4-6 seconds the camera will turn off (the red LED may also blink 3
times - see "LED status indicators"), indicating that formatting is completed.
• Release the shutter button.
Camera Setup (Configuration)
On Windows it is recommended to always use the Windows program mSetup.exe
(supports both the Mobius ActionCam and #16) or Nr16Setup.exe to modify the
camera's configuration. It is also possible to manually edit the "SYSCFG.TXT" file which
must be placed in the root folder of the card. You can use any ASCII editor, for example
Notepad, to modify the parameters. The "SYSCFG.TXT" must be in plain ASCII, it must
not be in Unicode. If you don't know what a root folder is, or you don't know what ASCII
is or don't know how to manually edit ASCII files please only use mSetup or
Nr16Setup.exe.
A "SYSCFG.TXT" file can be automatically generated by the Camera and will be placed
in the card's root directory. The camera's parameters are self explanatory. It is important
not to change the sequence of the square brackets and not configure invalid
combinations. For example, never combine a clip longer than 5 minutes with the
continuous loop. If you enter invalid combinations or values, the Camera will not
perform as expected. It is much safer to use the setup program which will always
configure the camera correctly.
The "SYSCFG.TXT" file can be automatically generated as follows:
1. Disconnect the camera from the PC and turn it off.
2. Press and Hold Down the Shutter button. DO NOT RELEASE the button
until step 6.
3. Press the Power button until the camera YELLOW LED turns on. This will take
about 1 second.
4. Release the Power button.
5. Wait until the Yellow LED turns off. This will take about 8-9 seconds.
6. Release the Shutter button.
The camera is updated with the parameters defined in the "SYSCFG.TXT" file by using
exactly the same method as outlined above. Once completed, the "SYSCFG.TXT" file
will be deleted from the card's root folder.
Using Software to configure the camera
Nr16Setup.exe or mSetup.exe (both require Windows XP and above) will automatically
configure the camera with the parameters you require. Detailed instructions can be
found in the program by clicking the "Help" button.
Users are encouraged to use mSetup.exe which will configure both the Mobius and the
#16 and is being actively developed.
All firmware versions from v0.47 enable the GUI programs to directly communicate with
the camera using the USB communication. Setting parameters using the
"SYSCFG.TXT" file is no longer necessary.
