water. Otherwise there is a risk that the water-resistant case opens. This can damage the
camcorder and any recordings.

Before you start
Inserting/removing a memory card
You should insert a microSD memory card to record your videos and pictures. If there is no
microSD memory card inserted, all recordings will be stored on the internal camcorder
memory. As the internal memory is very small, only a few recordings may be stored. Insert
the supplied microSD in order to be able to store more recordings. Proceed as follows:
Power the camcorder off before you insert or remove a memory card.
Insert the memory card with the contacts facing towards the front of the device (towards
the lens [5]) into the microSD card slot [7] until it clicks in place. To remove the memory
card, gently press on the inserted card. The memory card will protrude a little so that you
can get a hold of it and remove it.
Only use Speed Class 4 or faster memory cards. Otherwise image
and/or sound distortion may occur during video recording.
If the memory card or the internal memory is full, the message “FULL”
appears on the bottom line of the display [1].
