BATTERY LIFE Like with other electronic devices, the more the camera is used, the more quickly the battery will drain. Some activities are more demanding on the battery, such as capturing photos and video, in which case the battery will last approximately 2.5 hours with continuous use. With typical usage, the battery will last for approximately one day. The remaining battery capacity will display in the right top corner of the screen. When the battery level is low, recharge the battery before further use.
• • Examine the battery charging cord periodically for conditions such as damage to the output cord, housing, or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. In the event of such conditions, the battery charging cord should not be used until properly repaired or replaced. If you find the time between charges is considerably shortened with no change in usage, the battery could be nearing the end of its life.

Question 3: My Kidizoom® Action Cam HD will not turn on. Answer: Please make sure the Master Power Switch is on and the battery is charged. Question 4: Why are my pictures sometimes grainy and fuzzy? Is there anything I can do to improve the picture quality? Answer: In a poorly lit environment, the frame rate (shutter speed) drops to allow for a longer exposure time. The downside of this is that any movement in the frame, or of the hand holding the camera, can result in greater blur.
Answer: The picture transfer operation does not start by itself. After you connect the camera to your computer and the drive appears ready, you can open the drive, look in the DCIM folder, and you should find the images you captured with the Kidizoom® Action Cam HD. To transfer images to be viewed on Kidizoom® Action Cam HD, move JPEG image files into the folder DOWNLOAD/PHOTO.
