Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the Action Camera – the most convenient
way to shoot action video.
This tiny unit is a fully self contained camera and recording system, capable of
producing a very high standard of video for a unit of its size. It has a built in
Lithium-ion battery, records to Micro-SD memory cards and connects to your PC or
laptop computer via a standard USB 2.0 connection!
You can mount the Action Camera on the handlebars of your bike, stick it to your
car’s windshield, or strap it to your head – whatever you need to do to chase that
perfect shot! We’ve included all the mounting hardware you need to strap, stick
and sling the Action Camera onto just about anything.
So – grab your gear… and stick a camera on it.

Additional Functions
Time Stamp
The Action Camera can stamp the time and date onto the upper right corner of
photos and video recordings. This can be useful if you’re using the Action Camera
as a diary camera, or need to prove that at half past four on Friday afternoon you
actually were hurling yourself out of a perfectly good light aircraft.
To setup the Time Stamp function:
Connect the Action Camera to your computer.•
Create a .TXT fi le using a standard text editor (such as Notepad).•
The only information to include in the .TXT fi le is the full time and date, •
formatted as follows: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
When entering the value for hours, use 24 hour time. (eg. 4:00pm = 16:00)•
When entering a time or date which only has one digit, be sure that it is •
preceded by a “0”. For example, rather than entering “9”, enter “09”.
For example, if it was half past four in the afternoon of the twenty-fi fth of
September 2009, the fi le would read:
2009-09-25 16:30:00
Save this fi le as “userconf.txt”. Do not call it anything else, or format it to be •
anything other than a standard text fi le.
Copy this fi le to the root directory of the • Action Camera.
Using the Action Camera as a PC Camera
You can use the Action Camera as a standard USB 1.1 PC camera, and use it in
much the same way that you would use a standard webcam. To activate the Action
Camera in PC camera mode:
Insert the included CD-ROM into your computer. Follow the prompts to install •
the Action Camera software and drivers.
Once the software has been installed, connect the USB 2.0 cable to a free USB •
port on your computer.
Press and hold the Rec/Pause button.•
Whilst the Rec/Pause button is held down, connect the USB 2.0 cable to the •
Action Camera.
Your operating system will then automatically detect the new hardware, and •
confi gure it as appropriate.
