First use

What is the video loop mode for?

The VIDEO LOOP (LOOP) function on the G-EYE 900 camera allows you to record a video in continuous mode by keeping only the last 10 minutes.
The final video is then broken down into 5 files that are 2 minutes in length: only the last 5 files remain legible, the others are deleted automatically: this can be helpful to optimise the memory capacity on the Micro SD card.

How can i prevent the build up of fog inside my waterproof case?

The formation of fog is caused by temperature differences between the inside and outside: normal occurrence.
That’s why we recommend using the 3 anti-fog inserts to place inside the case.
These accessories are available in store and on decathlon.fr

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.

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.

How does the slow motion mode work?

SLOW MOTION is an action shot mode which allows you to create a 720p resolution video that is 4 times slower.

What mode do i use to film my activity?

Two video modes are preset on the G-EYE 900 camera and are non-editable. These settings are adapted to two types of sports practice:

SLOW SPORTS: this mode allows you to film all slow activities such as hiking for example. The video is set to take 30 images per second with a wide angle and without stabilisation to optimise the battery.
FAST SPORTS: this mode allows you to film all dynamic activities such as cycling, water sports and running. The video is set to take 60 images per second with a wide angle and the image stabiliser.
You can also customise the camera at your convenience in the CUSTOM mode and therefore set the quality of the image, the number of images per second, the angle of view and image stabilisation according to the settings of the camera.

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.
These accessories are available in store and onwww.decathlon.co.uk

We recommend using the USB cable provided to recharge the camera or to transfer data onto the computer.

Another question?

I cannot activate the image stabiliser: why not?

The image stabilisation mode is only available for resolutions that are 1080p or less and set to take 30 or 60 images per second. The wide angle is necessary.If you have not configured these settings, the stabiliser mode will not be displayed and will therefore be deactivated.This mode is automatically activated on the G-EYE 900 for the FAST SPORTS setting

I cannot find the photo mode while recording my video, why not?

The photo mode in the video is only available for the following resolutions:- 1080p or less- for taking 30 images per second or less.The wide angle is necessary and the stabiliser mode can be desactivated.

The touchscreen either responds poorly or not at all, why is this?

For the best possible response from the screen, we recommend that you use your thumb rather than your index finger.For the G-EYE 900, the settings can only be changed from the touchscreen. Therefore you cannot change them if you use the camera in the waterproof case.

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.
