The rear LED
If the camera is configured to show the Recording Indicator, then the rear LED will normally
blink in sequence with the main LED while recording or in standby mode.
When the camera is turned on, the rear LED will flash up to three times before becoming
steady. The number of flashes indicate the battery's state of charge. 3 Flashes=Fully
charged, 2 Flashes=charged, 1Flash=The battery is running low and should be charged as
soon as possible.
► The rear LED will blink when WiFi mode is enabled and the camera is waiting for a
smart phone to connect. The top LED will remain on. The rear LED will remain on when a
connection is made. See WiFi for details.
Connecting the camera to the PC
Always connect the camera directly to the PC. Do not use a USB hub. With a card in the
camera, it will always connect as an external device (disk drive, setup), whether the
camera is turned off, turned on in standby, or recording, with just ONE EXCEPTION!
This is when the camera is toggled into WiFi mode, and then the PC USB connection will
just provide external power to the camera.
► You cannot record video or photos if the camera is connected to the PC as an external
drive.
► With no card in the camera, connecting to the PC will toggle the camera into WebCam
mode.
