IX. Frequently Asked Questions
What ty e of SD Card does the camera su ort?
The X170 supports SD cards from a eading brands, but we recommend c ass 6 cards for
video. The unit is a so compatib e with SDHC cards by eading brands
How does the remote control work?
The remote contro works using radio frequency (RF) to communicate direct y with the
camera unit.
The remote is RF based, rather than infrared or IR (such as other he met cameras).
You do not need to point the remote at the camera. As ong as the remote is within a 5m
radius of the camera, the camera wi pick up the remote contro signa
How long will the batteries last?
We advise using either Energizer Lithium AA batteries or 1800mAh NiMH rechargeab e AA
batteries. Using brand new Energizer Lithium batteries you wi get 4 and a ha f hours worth
of battery ife. The "try-me" batteries inc uded in the camera kit as purchased wi give you
30 minutes of battery ife. Using Durace AA batteries, you wou d get approximate y 60
minutes of battery ife. U timate y battery ife is dependent upon operating temperature. In
co d environments (e.g. skiing / snowboarding), Lithium batteries are ess affected and
remain most of their battery ife.
How do I get more battery life out of my camera?
The bui t-in LCD screen consumers power so one of the best ways to save battery ife is to
use the menu settings and go into the Power Options section. You wi have the abi ity to
change the LCD screen settings such that the LCD screen switches off, whi st recording. This
wi ensure that whi st the camera sti is ready to start recording or is recording, the LCD
screen wi not be drawing power. For users with cigarette ighter adaptors (motorsports /
motorbikes), it is possib e to power the camera direct y from the cigarette ighter without
using any batteries. You wi need a USB cigarette ighter adaptor for this. Note that we
recommend Energizer Lithium or rechargeab e 1888mAh NiMh batteries for best battery ife.
The batteries provided in the box are "Try Out" batteries which on y ho d approx 30mins of
ife to get you going with the camera.

The videos and hotos give me a slight fisheye effect. Is this right?
Yes it is. We specia y se ected a 170 degree ens to provide users with the rea y quirky wide
ang e that was rea y prominent in the ear y days of he met cameras (especia y in
skateboarding). The effect wi be ess pronounced on objects in the distance and more
pronounced on objects c oser to the camera ens.
If you want a narrower ang e of view or ess funky image, then this may not be the product
for you.

Yes. The X170 is the on y camera on the market that comes with a bui t-in 8mm / 1/4"

Panavise 809) or other camera mount with the 8mm / 1/4" camera thread. These mounts
can be purchased from a our eading dea ers or camera stores.
