Getting Started
Welcome to your new KB Action Camera. Before you get shooting, please review
the User Guide carefully to ensure you get the maximum performance out of your
camera.
Battery Charging
We recommend that you fully charge your camera before use.
A full charge is approximately 2.5 hours using a 5V 0.5/1A Charger.
The status LED light on the rear of the camera will be RED when charging and will
be OFF when charged.
For further important information about the battery, see the Battery Guide (page 18).
MicroSD Card Compatibility
Your camera requires a MicroSD Card (not included).
Kaiser Baas recommends the use of a brand name Class 10 or higher MicroSD
Card. Any content recording higher than 1080P@60FPS will require a Class UHS-1
or higher card.
There is only one correct way to insert the MicroSD card. Do not force the card into
the slot as it may damage the camera and card.
The maximum card size is 32gb.
The list of recommended MicroSD cards can be found at
www.kaiserbaas.com/support
Format Card
Before you start recording for the first time, we recommend you format the MicroSD
card.
The format option is found in the General Settings Menu.
For information on how to navigate the menu please see the Navigation Guide (page
10)
Note: Formatting the card will permanently erase all data on the card. Be sure
to backup any content prior to formatting.
Firmware Update
Please check the kaiserbaas.com/support page for the latest firmware on your
camera. The current firmware can be found in the general settings page.

Capture Videos and Photos
Modes
The X2 features 2 key modes; Video Mode and Photo Mode. Both modes feature
different settings.
The following guides will help you understand each setting.
Video Mode
The default mode is Video Mode.
Click the Record button to start recording.
When recording, the blue video LED on the front of the camera and the blue power
LED on the back of the camera flash continuously.
Video Settings
Video Resolution
Your action camera can be set to support an array of resolutions and frame rates.
The higher the resolution the greater the detail and clarity of footage. Higher frames-
per-second (FPS) capture more motion and appear smoother on playback.

Sound Recording
Enable or disable audio capture.
Time lapse
Time-lapse is a creative technique that records footage at a very low frame rate.
Playing it back at a higher frame rate shows a rapid change over time. This
technique is most effective when recording scenes or objects which have a slow
state of change, e.g. a sunset or a flower blossoming.
This option captures video at specified intervals without audio ready for playback
and sharing.
Time lapse can be set to the following intervals 0.5/1/2/5/10/30/60 seconds.
The following chart is useful for determining the amount of time required for 1min of
footage at 30fps:

Tip: The camera may be plugged into a power bank/power source to extend the
battery life and allow you to shoot for extended periods of time. This is very useful
for recording long time lapses.
The greater the interval the more dramatic the effect.
Loop Recording
This allows you to record continuously using footage intervals of 2/3/5 minutes. The
camera will delete the oldest loop recording file and replace with the latest
recording when the MicroSD is full.
