Modes and Playback

The camera operates in three modes, switchable via the MODE button:

• Video Mode: Default mode for recording. Use the OK button to start/stop.
• Still Mode: Used for taking photos. You can adjust quality, sharpness, white balance, and ISO.
• Playback Mode: View and manage recorded files. You can lock, unlock, or delete files directly from the camera.

To retrieve files, connect the camera to your computer using a Mini USB cable or use a Micro SD card adapter. Select Mass Storage on the camera screen when prompted. Files are stored in the 'OCIM' folder. Note that AVI files may require a third-party player on Mac computers.
