Instruction manual

Breaking the Rules
As stated in the introductory, this camera only supports micro SD and micro SDHC
Memory cards. These cards are formatted in FAT32, which is the format the camera
requires. Microsoft has imposed an artificial limit on the maximum capacity of the FAT32
file system of 32GB even though, theoretically, a limit of 2 Terabytes is possible.
Large capacity micro SDXC (XC=Extended Capacity) cards start with a capacity of
64GB. It is not possible to read these cards with normal SD or SDHC card readers,
which includes this camera. SDXC cards can only be read with special SDXC card
readers. SDXC cards placed in a normal SD(HC) reader may be recognized by the
operating system, but will be found to be unformatted, which is not correct. If formatted
using Windows, they will probably be formatted with 16GB total capacity!
SDXC cards will be recognized correctly if used in an SDXC card reader and the file
system will be exFAT. The maximum capacity of exFAT is 2 Terabytes.
If you use the "In-Camera Formatting" to format your SDXC cards, you do so
entirely at your own risk. The Manufacturer takes no responsibility for incorrectly
formatted cards and the consequences that may arise (for example destroyed cards).
SDXC cards formatted with FAT32 are not supported by Microsoft and you will possibly
invalidate your card's guarantee by doing so.
Using In-Camera Formatting it is possible to format SDXC cards in FAT32 Format.
Doing so will turn the cards into out-of-specification SDHC cards. However, you will
have the advantage of much higher card capacities. For example, a 64GB SDXC card
formatted with FAT32 will give you about 20 hours of continuous video when recorded
with a data rate of 7 Mb/s. After formatting with FAT32 these cards will be recognized by
Windows using normal SD(HC) card readers, which includes this camera, to their full
capacity. Note that the max. file size of 4GB still applies.
SDXC cards formatted with FAT32 may be converted back to exFAT by using
SDFormatter but an SDXC card reader must be used.
Special functions
The following functions need additional explanation:
Power-on Delay
This parameter was added in v0.50 and gives the user the choice of the existing 2-3
sec. delayed power-up, or an instantaneous power-up with no delay. Note that the
system requires about 2 seconds after power-on until the buttons become active.
Audio Volume
As of v0.67, when the volume is turned OFF, the sound track is completely eliminated
from the video output stream in all camera modes. Prior to this version a sound track
was attached to the video but with the volume turned off. The new functionality will free
up a nominal 7% video recording space when the volume is turned off.
