You sequence through the modes – no shortcut to get to the mode you want.
First you need to know that the label is up to get the proper frame orientation.
1. Press the button until the light turns on – release it right away – the light goes out – you are now in the voice activated mode – talk to it and it starts taking a video – but no light indication. Seems like my camera voice level is set way below 65 db – takes vid with light out constantly – well maybe not for more than three minutes – I am impatient
2. While in the above mode a short press will turn on a steady light – you are now in the sandby mode. If the light goes out, you lost this mode and the power is now off – start over at #1.
3. If you haven’t waited too long, a quick press will shut the light off and a photo will be taken – then the light comes back on steady (for a while ) It is ready to take more pictures (if you don’t wait too long) or you can
4. take a video by holding down the button for 2 seconds (NOT TOO LONG – THAT WILL TURN IT OFF). While a video is being taken the light blinks continuously. Stop the video with a short press.
5. Power the camera off (if you haven’t accidently done so already) by pressing the button for 4 seconds – you get two blinks – OFF.
Now that i THINK I have the modes under my control, I will try to actually use the thing to see if it is as bad as y’all say.
