be locked.
• If the current recording file will be closed in less than 1 minute, both the current file and the
following file will be locked.
• If the current file has been recording for over 1 minute but will only be closed after at least
another 1 minute of recording, only the current file will be locked.
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 v2.27. 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 enable 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, press the Mode button for about 3 seconds until the Mode
LED (yellow, blue or red) turns off. When the Mode LED turns off, release the Mode button.
AEL/AWBL has been set.
• If the camera is recording, press the Mode button for 3 seconds or longer and then release the
button. There is no optical indication that AEL/AWBL has been set.
AEL/AWBL can be disabled as follows:
• Stop the recording and press the Mode button to switch to a different recording Mode. Slowly
pressing the Mode button 3 times will cycle back to the original Mode.
• AEL/AWBL will be automatically reset when the camera is turned off.
FOV (Field Of View)
The field of view setting allows you to either capture the complete area of the image sensor or a smaller
area without noticeable loss in quality. The following table shows which area of the image sensor is
captured and how it is converted using the Wide and Narrow FOV settings:

Trouble shooting
Q. I can format the card and update the firmware but the camera refuses to record video. The rear LED
is solid red instead of blinking. The yellow LED may also flash once when you press the shutter button.
A. Most likely you are using an SD card which is not compatible with the camera. Some batches of
