Connecting the camera to the PC

Make sure a card is inserted and the camera is turned OFF if you want to access the
camera as an external device (disk drive, setup). Always connect the camera directly
to the PC. Do not use a USB hub.
► You cannot record video or photos if the camera is connected to the PC as an
external drive.
Charging
•
Connect one end of the supplied standard USB cable to the camera.
•
Connect the other end to a USB, 5V DC power source (wall charger, PC or
external battery).
•
When the yellow LED turns on, press the Power button to turn the camera
OFF.
NOTE: Charging when connected to a PC USB port can be toggled ON or OFF
using the setup program. When connecting to a Smartphone, you should turn this
functionality OFF.
When charging, the green LED will be on. It will turn off when the battery is fully
charged.
Charging takes about 2.5 hours for a fully discharged battery with the camera turned
off and connected to an external USB Charger. Batteries are not covered under
warranty. If charged with under-rated chargers or by using a USB hub without an
additional power supply, expect longer charging times. For optimum results, the
charging voltage should be +5V under load. Only use quality chargers capable of
supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of at least 5V. Low quality chargers may
not be able to supply enough current and can lead to premature battery failure or, in
the worst case, even destroy the camera.
