The AKASO Brave 7 LE is an action camera designed for capturing high-quality video and photos. To get started, ensure you have a U3 memory card (up to 64GB), format it within the camera, and charge the battery. Power the camera on by holding the Power button for 3 seconds.
Camera Overview
The camera features a front screen, a touch screen, and various buttons for operation. The Shutter/OK button is used for recording and confirming selections, while the Mode/Exit button allows you to switch between modes. The camera includes a Micro HDMI port and a USB/External Mic port for connectivity.
Modes
The camera offers several modes: Video, Photo, Playback, System Setup, Video Setup, and Photo Setup. You can switch between these modes by tapping the mode icon on the screen or using the Mode button.
Connecting to the AKASO GO App
To control your camera remotely, download the AKASO GO app. Turn on the camera's Wifi, connect your phone to the camera's Wifi network using the password 1234567890, and add the device in the app to enable live preview, playback, and file transfer.
File Management
You can view, delete, and offload your content directly on the camera or via the AKASO GO app. To transfer files to a computer, use a USB cable or a card reader. Always format your memory card regularly to keep it in good condition.
Maintenance and Battery
To maintain performance, keep the camera away from drops, bumps, and extreme temperatures. Do not touch the lens with fingers. If the battery reaches 0%, the camera will save the file and power off. Avoid storing the battery with metal objects to prevent fire hazards.
Remote Control
The included remote control allows for photo and video capture. Note that the remote is splashproof only, not waterproof. To replace the CR2032 battery, use a 1.8mm Phillips screwdriver to open the back cover and replace the battery with the '+' pole facing up.
Mounting
The camera comes with a waterproof case. Ensure there is no gap between the waterproof strips when closing the case to maintain its integrity. Various mounts are included for helmets, gear, and equipment.
