visibility must be 1 meter or more. Oftentimes, algae and other water sedi-
ments – especially in ponds and lakes, will cause diminished water clarity.
The deeper the camera is probing, the less colour will show up in the footage.
Furthermore, algae and sediments will tend to make the recordings greenish.
To enhance details on your recordings – if they display unnatural colours or
they’re diffuse - watch them in Sepia* mode.
Open the VLC Player menu ‘Adjustments and effects’ and choose ‘Sepia’ in the
‘Colour’ menu. This can be done while you playback your recorded video.
In the VLC Player it is also possible to see the strikes frame by frame. Pause
the video by clicking the ‘space’ button and move on to the next frame by click-

Micro SD-slot (4). The label should face down and the small end of the card
should face forward in the camera.
3. Take the cap off the camera and switch the on/off button (3) to on. After approxi-
mately 5 seconds, the camera’s on/off light (2) will light up red while the SD-card is

should be inserted into the USB mini port (2) on the camera house and con-
nected with a USB power source (i.e. a computer or a USB charger unit). The
camera’s on/off light (1) will light up blue when charging, and when it turns off,
the camera is fully charged.

when the camera is recording.
4. When closing the end cap to the camera, always make sure the O-rings lay
correct. For ensure the waterproof function and prevent the water gets into the

6. When the camera is fully charged, align the small triangle on the cap with
the 100% printed on the camera house. When the battery is used, do not align
the triangle with the 100% print. You can now tell if a camera is charged or not,
