Indicators:
The ACT-1301 MK2 offers several features to enhance the user experience:
Capture Mode: In this mode, the camera is used to take still pictures. The LCD screen displays a counter indicating the quantity of pictures available to be taken, the mode icon, movie size options (1M/3M/5M), and an icon indicating if a memory card is inserted. Digital zoom (1x-4x) can be adjusted using the Up and Down keys. Other displayed information includes battery level, self-timer mode (if set), white balance mode (automatic by default), and metering mode (pan overall perspective metering).
Video Mode: The camera can record video sequences with a maximum duration of 29 minutes per sequence. To start recording, switch to video mode and click the Shutter button. Click it again to stop recording. Recording will also automatically stop if the memory card runs out of free space or the battery is critically low. The LCD screen in video mode displays a time-meter (indicating recording duration), the video mode icon, a loop recording time icon (defaulting to 3 minutes), movie size (720P), memory card insertion status, digital zoom magnification, battery level, white balance mode (automatic by default), and metering mode.
Replay Mode: This mode allows for playback of captured pictures and recorded videos. After switching to replay mode, the screen displays the replay mode icon, the number of files in the current folder, an icon indicating if the current folder is locked, and an icon identifying the current file as a video file.
Digital Zoom: The Up and Down keys allow for digital zoom adjustment from 1x to 4x in capture and video modes.
Battery Management: The camera displays a battery icon indicating the current battery level. When the battery is extremely low, a red, flashing icon appears, signaling the need for charging.
Charging: The camera features a built-in lithium battery. To charge, connect the camera to a computer via the USB cable while the camera is powered off. The charging indicator will light up and turn off when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 2-4 hours. The charger indicator provides constant lighting to remind the user that the camera is being charged.
Memory Card Usage: The camera requires a memory card as it does not have built-in memory. Follow the instructions carved by the memory card slot to insert the FT card until it is fully seated. To remove the card, gently press the end of the memory card inwards, and it will eject.
Environmental Considerations: The manual includes warnings about the lithium battery, advising against opening the product, and avoiding exposure to heat, water, moisture, or direct sunlight.
