User manual ARCHOS HELMET CAMCORDER

[. . . ] · You can clip the controller of your ARCHOS Helmet CamCorder for example onto your shirt pocket. The camera itself is typically fitted into the headband and worn so that you record what you see. · The next two sections explain the two options for making a recording: using the camera controller, or using the Video recorder application of your ARCHOS device, which lets you set a number of parameters. Making a Recording Using the Camera Controller · To start recording: Press the Start/Stop button on your camera controller. The red and green lights will momentarily go on, and on the screen of your ARCHOS device, you will see a message indicating that a video signal is detected. [. . . ] The lights will indicate the status of the ARCHOS device as shown below: · Red and green: the ARCHOS device is presently making a recording. · Green: the Helmet CamCorder is connected correctly to the ARCHOS device and a recording can be started. · No light: the Helmet CamCorder is not connected properly to the ARCHOS device or the device is off. Notes on the ARCHOS Helmet Cam · Do not be concerned if the controller's lights are not lit while your Helmet CamCorder is in use. · The loudspeaker of your ARCHOS device will be disabled during the recording as this could result in audio feedback. The microphone integrated into the camera controller will record the sound. Therefore make sure that it is not covered in order to obtain the best possible sound for your recording. · If images look distorted, you might be too close to the object you are filming. This effect is also referred to as "fish eye effect". The range for obtaining undistorted images is between 1. 5 and 10 meters. ! PreCauTions Please note the following points in order to avoid damage to your ARCHOS Helmet Cam: · Do not attempt to take the camera apart. There are no customer-serviceable parts inside, and you could receive an electric shock. A violent shock, for example through a fall, could damage it. · Use the camera in moderate conditions. Avoid cold or hot temperatures, humidity over 85%, and dust or sand. · The same precautions apply to the controller. · Please be aware that the camera and controller are not water-proof and should be kept away from water. · To clean the camera only use products specifically designed to clean optical lenses. · NEVER direct the camera at the sun! www regisTer Your ProDuCT! www. archos. com/register Once you unpack your ARCHOS product, we ask that you take a few minutes to register it.
