Notes

• The camera supports microSD cards of up to 32GB in

capacity. To ensure smooth performance and plenty of
room for recording long journeys, we recommend using a
memory card rated class 6 or above, with at least 8GB in
capacity.

• We do not guarantee compatibility with microSD cards

from all manufacturers. Only use good quality microSD
cards from reliable sources.

• We recommend formatting the microSD card in the camera

before first using it. Go to System Settings > Format.
Formatting permanently deletes all data on the memory
card, so be sure to copy the data you want to keep to
another storage device before starting.
