IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CHOPPY OR BROKEN UP PLAYBACK:
HD video files contain very large amounts of data. When recording 1080p video, it is important to use
memory cards that are rated at class 10. 1080p 60fps is too much data for many computers to process.
Most common computers cannot process more than 30fps. We recommend using 30fps for most users
and applications. If 60fps is required, make sure your computer has AT LEAST 3.0-3.7 GHz third
generation Core based processors or equivalent, 4GB RAM and a graphics card that compares to an
NVIDIA GeForce GT650M or better.
Included Accessories:
User’s manual mini CD, lithium ion battery, USB cable, float strap, lens cap, anti-glare hood, silicone
grease, Quick Start Guide, Optional Accessory brochure.
