Motion Detection; Image Stabilizer - Mobius Maxi User Manual

Motion Detection

Motion Detection only works in video modes. It does not function in Photo Mode.
When Motion Detection is enabled, the Power-Off Standby timeout setting will be
ignored. The camera will, therefore, not turn off unless there is no power left to keep the
camera running, the memory card is full or the camera is manually turned off.
When Motion is detected, the camera will start recording and the selected Motion
Timeout counter will be started. If no further motion is detected by the time the counter
runs out the camera will save the recording and return to standby mode where it will
wait for new motion detection.
If motion is detected while recording the timeout counter will be reset to the selected
timeout.
The camera will continue recording until no more motion is detected and the timeout
counter runs out or the 4GB file size limit is reached, or the memory card is full.
When the 4GB file size limit is reached the current recording will be saved and a new
one will be started. There will be a 3 second gap between clips.

Image Stabilizer

Image Stabilization can help reduce jitter in recorded video. However, the results will
vary depending on the amount of camera movement and scene. Under normal
conditions, it is not recommended to enable Image Stabilization.
The Time Stamp will not be shown correctly when recording videos with Image
Stabilization enabled. Always disable the Time Stamp when using Image Stabilization.
Likewise, Image Stabilization will not work for videos recorded in 2.7K or 4K. It should
be disabled.
File Protection (write protect) while recording
The current clip can be Write Protected by briefly pressing (max. 1 second) the Mode
button while the camera is recording. The camera must have loop recording enabled for
this function to work. This will set the file's read-only attribute which will prevent the
current recording from being deleted. The video clip will be moved to the SDs 'LOCKED'
folder.
Note that formatting the card will delete all the files, including the protected files with the
read-attribute set.
AE Lock (Auto Exposure Lock) / AWB Lock (Auto White Balance
Lock)
AE Lock (AEL) and AWB Lock (AWBL) are advanced functions first implemented in
firmware version v0.53 and above. Their functionality is disabled by default.
AEL and/or AWBL functionality must be explicitly enabled in the settings
parameters. AWBL functionality requires the White Balance parameter to be set to
'Auto'.
AE/AWB can be locked while the camera is either in standby mode or recording mode.
To turn on AEL/AWBL point the camera at the object you want to correctly exposure
and then set the lock as follows:
•
If the camera is in Standby mode or recording, briefly press the Power button
until an additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is
in) turns on. This indicates that AEL and/or AWBL is turned on.
•
If the camera is in Standby mode or recording, briefly press the Power button
until the additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is
in) turns off. This indicates that AEL and/or AWBL has been turned off.
•
AEL/AWBL will remain turned on until they are manually turned off, another
Mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.
•
An additional icon will be displayed on the external monitor if connected and
OSD is turned on.
