Notes:

• You can enter and navigate the menu during video recording.
• Recorded videos and photos are saved to the built-in memory card of the device in the format img_xxx. jpg (for photos); video_xxx. mp4 (for video). 
• Videos are recorded in clips with a maximum duration of 5 minutes. The number of recorded files is limited by the capacity of unit’s internal memory and video compression ratio.
• Regularly check free memory within the built-in memory card and move the footage to other storage media to free up the memory card space.

• In case of a memory card error, you can use the format function in the General Settings section of the main menu.
