Cyclic recording is set as default; recorded in this mode, video les of equal duration are saved on the memory card consecutively; as soon as the memory card is full, automated removal of old les and saving of new ones starts. In this way perpetual substitution of the oldest video le with the newest currently shot one takes place on the memory card. In cyclic recording mode video le duration can be changed through Settings menu. To start/ nish recording press REC button in Video recording mode. Following the start of recording countdown begins in the upper left corner of display. This means that the recording is actually performed.

[ Other functions ]
1. Motion sensor
This function is meant for monitoring the environment. As soon as camera spots any motion within its lens range, recording stops automatically for a while. To switch the motion sensor on, press and hold REC button in Standby mode or activate this func­tion through Settings menu. Upon activation of this function an icon of human gure will appear on the screen top. We do not recommend switching on the motion sensor while the car is moving. This may lead to video quality distortions, hang / damage of the equipment, and fast CD card lling.
2. G sensor
This G sensor (impact sensor) function allows protecting current video le from re-recording and removing in case the device records a shock/impact. In the right upper corner of the screen a “blockage” icon meaning that the cur­rent le is protected will appear. This video le will be protected from deletion / re-recording; prex “SOS” will be attached at the end of the le name; the le will not get lost unless removed manually. We recommend setting the “medium” (default) G sensor sensitivity value. The level of sensitivity can be set in Settings menu.
3. Manual le blocking
Press OK button during the recording; in the right upper corner of the screen a “blockage” icon meaning that the current le is protected will appear. This video le will be protected from deletion / re-recording; prex “SOS” will be attached at the end of the le name; the le will not get lost unless removed manually.
3. Parking mode
Upon activation of this mode, even if the device is switched o, recording will switch on automatically every time the device records a shock/impact. This function may be switched on/o through Settings menu or by prolonged press on MIC button.

[Possible problems and their causes ]
If any problems with the device emerge although the equipment maintenance and operation terms have been observed, read this section to solve them.
- It is impossible to shoot photos and record videos.
Check if there is enough free space on Micro SD card, and if it is not blocked.
- Spontaneous stop occurs during the recording.
Since HD quality video les occupy much space, use only high quality Micro SD cards no lower than 6 class (class 10 is recommended).
- When you try to view / back play a photo-video le, “video back play mistake” inscription appears on the display.
This is caused by incomplete le recording due to the le system failure on the Micro DS card. Format the Micro SD card.
- Blurred image.
Check for dirt or ngerprints on the lens. If you nd any, wipe the lens with a piece of soft cloth before usage. (To avoid damage to the lens surface special substances for the maintenance of optical equipment are recommended).
- Image is darkened when you shoot the sky or water.
If a sharp contrast is present on the shooting scene, it will aect the exposure. Change the exposure value settings in menu.
- Unnatural colour on the recording and photo occurs when you shoot on a cloudy day or indoors.
Check White balance settings in menu, set White balance in Auto mode or select the value which suits the shooting conditions.
- Hang (no image on the display, no reaction to pressing on buttons).
For starting a forced reset of the device press RESET button.
