Camera Setup (Configuration) - Mobius ActionCam Instruction Manual

In-Camera Formatting
The Camera contains a built-in formatter which may be used to format the SD card. In-Camera
formatting is best done using mSetup.exe (see below) but can also be done as follows:
• Connect the camera to an External USB power supply or to a PC as a Removable disk (see
above).
• Press and hold down the Mode button.
steps are completed.
• Disconnect the camera from the power supply or the computer.
• The yellow LED will blink for a few seconds followed by three blinks of the red LED, after
which the camera will turn off. You must wait until you see the red LED blink three times.
• Release the Mode button.
►In firmware versions up to v2.03 cards with a capacity greater than 32GB will be formatted with
exFAT. All other cards will be formatted as FAT32. See the note about using exFAT in older operating
systems in the Description.

Camera Setup (Configuration)

On Windows it is recommended to always use the program mSetup.exe to modify the camera's
configuration. mSetup communicates directly with the camera and makes configuring the camera a
very simple task.
It is, however, also possible to manually change the configuration settings by editing the
"SYSCFG.TXT" file which must be placed in the root folder of the card for the camera to find and load
the new settings. You can use any ASCII editor, for example Notepad, to modify the parameters. The
"SYSCFG.TXT" must be in plain ASCII, it must not be in Unicode. If you don't know what a root
folder is, or you don't know what ASCII is or don't know how to manually edit ASCII files please only
use mSetup.exe.
A "SYSCFG.TXT" file must first be generated by the Camera. The camera's parameters are self
explanatory. It is important not to change the sequence of the square brackets and not configure invalid
combinations. For example, never combine a clip longer than 5 minutes with the continuous loop. If
you enter invalid combinations or values, the Camera will not perform as expected. It is much safer to
use the setup program which will always configure the camera correctly. If you want to keep the
camera's current date and time, replace all the numeric characters withing the square brackets by ?.
The "SYSCFG.TXT" file can be automatically generated as follows:
1. Disconnect the camera from the PC and turn it off.
2. Press and Hold Down the Mode button.
3. Press and Hold Down the Power button until the RED LED blinks 3 times and the camera
turns off. This will take about 5 seconds. During the process, the blue and yellow LEDs may
blink.
4. Release the Mode and Power buttons.
The SYSCFG.TXT file showing the camera's current settings should now be in the memory card root
folder. Now you can edit the SYSCFG.TXT file as indicated above, and load the new settings back into
the camera by using exactly the same method as outlined in steps 1 through 4, above. Once completed,
the "SYSCFG.TXT" file will be automatically deleted from the card's root folder.
►Some parameter settings are not allowed in combination with other parameter settings. For example,
only clip lengths of 5 minutes and less are allowed when loop recording is enabled. The Windows
configuration setup program mSetup.exe (see below) guarantees the settings are valid. Use the tool tips
DO NOT RELEASE the button until after the next
DO NOT RELEASE the button until step 4.
