Saving Images or Videos
The camera uses an SD card to save all images and videos. Before inserting the SD-card,
be sure the SD card is unlocked.
NOTE: The camera has no internal memory, insert SD card before operation; otherwise,
the camera will shut down automatically if no SD card is inserted.
File Naming
Images and videos are saved in the pre-named folder. File numbering continues
by adding one to the last number for each new image or video. Saving names
are IMAG0001.JPG or IMAG0001.AVI. Through the suffix you can distinguish
whether the file is an image (with suffix .jpg) or a video (with suffix .avi).
