• Reset Feature
In the rare situation that the camera locks up (usually in a very low power situation), we have incorporated a “camera reset switch” on the back of the camera that allows the camera processor to be reset without loosing any images. To use the reset switch, simply depress the reset switch gently (holding for around 5 seconds) using a paper clip or ball point pen. The camera will repower and return to the mode prior to the lock-up. It is important to note, that the camera probably needs to be recharged immediately in order to avoid
locking up again.
