GETTING STARTED

Welcome to your new KB Action Camera.
Before you get shooting, please review the User
Guide carefully to ensure you get the maximum
performance out of your camera.
Battery Charging
We recommend that you fully charge
your camera before use. A full charge is
approximately 2.5 hours using a 5V 0.5/1A
Charger.
The charging indicator LED light on the top of
the camera will be RED when charging and will
be OFF when charged. For further information
about the battery, see the battery guidelines.
MicroSD Card Compatibility
Your camera requires a MicroSD Card (not
included).
Kaiser Baas recommends the use of a brand
name Class UHS-1 or higher MicroSD Card.
Any content recording higher than
1080P@60FPS will require a Class UHS-1
or higher card.
There is only one correct way to insert the
MicroSD card. Do not force the card into the
slot as it may damage the camera and card.
The maximum card size is 64gb. The list of
recommended MicroSD cards can be found at:
www.kaiserbaas.com/support
Format Card
Before you start recording for the rst time,
we recommend you format the MicroSD card.
The format option is found in the Settings
Menu. For information on how to navigate the
menu please see the Navigation Guide.
Note: Formatting the card will permanently
erase all data on the card. Be sure to backup
any content prior to formatting.

video, capture photos and conrm/select
menu items.
When you are in the Settings Mode, hold the
record button to switch between each Setting
category.
VIDEO MODE
06 - ENG
Modes
The X250 features 2 key modes; Video Mode
and Photo Mode.
The following guides will help you understand
each mode.
Video Mode
The default mode is Video Mode.
Click the Record button to start recording.
There are 2 Indicator lights on the top of the
X250 Camera. One light will indicate charging
with a red LED and the other is a status LED:
blue when powered on and will ash when
recording. Refer to the Camera Diagram for
exact placement.
Video Resolution
Your action camera can be set to support
an array of resolutions and frame rates.
The higher the resolution the greater the detail
and clarity of footage. Higher frames-per-sec-
ond (FPS) capture more motion and appear
smoother on playback.
Resolution FPS
4K 3840x2160p (Interpolated) 30
2.5K 2688x1520 30
1920x1080 60/30
1280x720 120/60
VIDEO MODE VIDEO MODE
07 - ENG 08 - ENG
Note: Higher resolutions will become inactive if
the memory card is not Class 10 or higher.
Tip: Recording in higher resolutions/fps also
impacts battery life. Refer to the battery guide
for more tips on battery management.
Time lapse
Time-lapse is a creative technique that records
footage at a very low frame rate. Playing it back
at a higher frame rate shows a rapid change
over time. This technique is most eective
when recording scenes or objects which have
a slow state of change, e.g. a sunset or a ower
blossoming.
This option captures video at specied intervals
without audio ready for playback and sharing.
Time lapse can be set to the following intervals
1/5/10/30/60 seconds.
Slow Motion
Normal footage being played at a slower
speed. Slow motion only works with the
minimum frame rate of 60 fps to be able to
produce smooth footage. 1080x1920P 60FPS
or 1280x720P 120FPS resolution must be
selected from Video Resolution before turning
the Slow-motion mode on. This mode will not
be active on any other video resolutions.
Image Stabilisation
This reduces shakiness and blur when shooting
video.
Loop Recording
This allows you to record continuously using
footage intervals of 2/3/5 minutes. The camera
will delete the oldest loop recording le and
replace with the latest recording when the
MicroSD is full.
The following chart is useful for determining
the amount of time required for 1min of footage
at 30FPS:
Note: Time lapse mode must be turned o in
order to record normal or Slow-motion videos.
Interval Recording Time
1 30 mins
5 2.5 hours
10 5 hours
30 15 hours
60 30 hours
Motion Detection
When selected, this mode will automatically
start recording when the X250 detects motion
in its eld of view.
Microphone

wish to record sound on videos. Microphone is
set to on by default.

image. Resolution is sometimes identied by
the width and height of the image as well as
the total number of pixels in the image.
See the table for the X250 image resolution
options.
Time lapse Photo
Time lapse Photo mode allows you to shoot a
continuous sequence of photos. This mode is
activated by clicking the Record/Conrm button
and will shoot automatically until stopped by
pressing the Record/Conrm button again.
Shoot in this mode with the following intervals
3/5/10/30/60 seconds.

Turn o WiFi.
Turn on the Screen O function.
Capture at a lower Video Resolution and
frame rate. Higher resolutions and frame
rates impact battery performance.
● Avoid exposing the camera and battery to
very cold or hot temperatures. Cold or hot
temperatures may temporarily aect the
battery life and cause the camera to stop
working.
● Only ever charge the camera with a
compliant wall charger marked 5V/1A.
Adhere to these guidelines to ensure maximum
performance and longevity.
● Never use the camera in water without
the waterproof case. The camera is not
waterproof without the case.
● If camera has been used in salt water
ALWAYS rinse the waterproof case in fresh
water to prevent corrosion.
Regularly check the seals for debris or
dust on the door of the waterproof case to
prevent water, sand and dirt ingress.
● Never handle the camera, battery or
MicroSD Card with wet hands or in wet
conditions.
Clean the camera lens and waterproof
case lens with a soft micro bre towel to
reduce any blurry footage due to grease/
ngerprints.
