Accuracy

Why are my videos split into several files?

All files must not exceed 4GB to make it easier to process and transfer your videos. If they are larger, your recording continues and a new file is automatically created.
This value corresponds to the maximum transfer size onto the disks in FAT32 format.

My videos jerk around when i watch them, what do i do?

If the videos jerk around while you watch them on your computer, first try to change the player software (Windows Media Player, VLC or Quicktime for example).

If the videos always jerk around:
- you can change the software settings
- try on another more powerful computer (some graphics cards are not sufficient enough to read 60 images/second)

This effect is removed by connecting your camera to a TV via the mini HDMI port.

How does the time lapse mode work?

The TIME LAPSE is a technique which involves creating a video from a large quantity of photos taken from the same place and at a specific time interval of a few seconds to a few minutes.
For example, if you perform a time lapse with 10 seconds between each photo and a battery life of three hours,. you can make a film that is 36 seconds long with 30 images per second.

Battery

It seems that my battery heats up when i use my camera, is this normal?

When using the camera, the battery naturally heats up. This effect is increased when you use the camera in its waterproof case.
If you use the camera in its waterproof case, this heating effect can increase the build up of fog. Also, we recommend you use the 3 anti-fog inserts to place inside the case.
