Troubleshooting

∫ It is not a malfunction in following cases
The lens fogs up.
Problem
This unit cannot be turned
on.
This unit does not stay on
long enough.
Battery runs down quickly.
Problem
This unit arbitrarily stops
recording.
Colour balance of images
is strange when recording
in a place such as a
gymnasium.
Recorded motion pictures
flicker.
Horizontal lines appear in
recorded images.
A motion picture file is
created that is longer than
the recording time.
Problem
When looking at the
playing back an image on
the smartphone, mosaic-
like noise appears and the
motion is not smooth.
≥ This is due to condensation. It is not a malfunction. Please
refer to page 4.
Power
≥ Charge the battery again to ensure it is sufficiently charged.
(l 10)
≥ In cold places, the battery using time becomes shorter.
≥ If the operating time is very short even after the battery has
been recharged sufficiently, the battery has worn out.
Recording
≥ Use a microSD card that can be used for motion picture
recording. (l 13)
≥ The recordable time may have shortened due to the
deterioration of the data writing speed or repeated recording
and deletion. Using this unit, format the microSD card.
≥ In a place with multiple light sources, such as a gymnasium or
a hall, set the [White Balance] setting to [Indoor 2]. If you
cannot record clearly with the [Indoor 2], set it with [Custom].
(l 34)
≥ If you record an image with [1280k720/60fps] or [848k480/
120fps] in [Slow Motion], flickering or horizontal lines may
appear under fluorescent lighting.
≥ Recording in [Slow Motion]
that is longer than the recording time. For example, the playback
time of a motion picture recorded in [848k480/120fps] (1/4 slow-
motion) will be 4-times longer than the actual recording time.
(l 33)
Playback
≥ Depending on the smartphone or radio wave conditions,
when you play back a motion picture, mosaic-like noise may
appear on the screen and the motion may not be smooth.
(The images to be recorded are not affected.)
