The XTASY Full HD Action Camcorder is a versatile and robust device designed for capturing high-definition video and still photographs in various environments, including underwater. Its compact design and comprehensive mounting system make it suitable for a wide range of action-oriented activities.
The primary function of the XTASY camcorder is to record Full HD video at a maximum resolution of 1080p. This is achieved through a simple slide switch, allowing users to quickly initiate recording. In addition to video, the device can capture 5MP digital photographs. It supports MicroSD cards up to 32GB, providing ample storage for extended recording sessions, with the capability to record FHD videos for up to 4 hours on a single card. The camcorder is powered by a built-in 1200mAh Li-Polymer battery, offering approximately 2.5 hours of continuous use. A key feature is its waterproof capability, allowing it to operate up to 10 meters deep without the need for an additional casing, thanks to its high-quality aluminum barrel and rubberized finishing.
The camcorder incorporates a G-sensor for auto-rotation, which detects the camera's orientation and adjusts the recorded view accordingly. This means users can mount the camera at 90°, 180°, or 270° from the default position without recording an inverted or rotated view. The video resolution will be adjusted for 90° and 270° orientations.
Connectivity options include a Mini USB port for data transfer, camera setup, and charging, as well as a Mini HDMI port for connecting to a TV or HDTV. This allows the camera to function as a viewfinder, enabling users to playback, delete, and format files directly on a larger screen.
Power On & Off: The camera is powered on by pressing and holding the Power button, indicated by a vibration and a green LED. To power off, the Power button is pressed and held again, resulting in a two-second vibration and the green LED turning off.
Charging: The camera can be charged using either the included USB cable or an AC/DC adapter. A red LED indicates charging status, turning off once fully charged, which typically takes about 3 hours.
Memory Card Insertion: A MicroSD card (not included) must be inserted before use. It's crucial to ensure the camera is turned off and to insert the card in the correct direction to avoid damage. New MicroSD cards should be formatted prior to use.
Date and Time Setup: The camera's internal clock can be set using the provided software (actionplus.exe) when connected to a computer via USB. This ensures that video and photo files are stamped with accurate date/time information.
Sealing for Waterproofing: For underwater use or in wet conditions, the camera must be properly sealed with the BACK COVER. The cover is attached by rotating it clockwise until two black dots align, and then locked with a latch. To open, the latch is loosened, and the cover is rotated counterclockwise until the white and black dots align.
Video Recording: Video recording is initiated by sliding the Recording Slide Switch from STOP to REC. A short vibration and a red LED indicate that recording has started. Alternatively, if the camera is off and the switch is at REC, pressing and holding the Power button will turn on the camera and begin recording. To stop, the switch is moved from REC to STOP, resulting in a vibration and a green LED, entering Standby mode. An additional option to stop recording and power off the camera is to hold the Power button, which will cause a two-second vibration and the red LED to turn off. The camera simultaneously creates a smaller 432x240 or 320x240 video file (thm.mov) alongside the main HD/FHD file for efficient uploading to social media and email. Video resolution cannot be changed during recording.
Photo Taking: After the camera is powered on, pressing the Power button takes a photo. A short vibration and a green LED flash confirm a successful capture. The default photo mode is "single photo," but burst mode (10 continuous shots) and interval shooting (series of photos at 5, 10, 30, or 60-second intervals) are also available and can be changed via the software. Still photo function is disabled during video recording.
Mounting System: The XTASY features a versatile mounting system, including a secure strap, CamLocker, helmet mounts (for bike and motorcycle helmets), and a handlebar/pole mount.
Connecting to PC: The camera connects as a mass storage device via USB. Users can browse files, format the MicroSD card, and run the "actionplus.exe" software to change camera settings such as photo resolution and mode, video resolution, TV type, language, auto power off, auto rotation, and date/time.
Connecting to TV/HDTV: The HDMI cable allows the camera to connect to a TV or HDTV, enabling it to be used as a viewfinder for taking photos/videos, playing back files, deleting files, and formatting the MicroSD card.
Lens Care: It is crucial to keep the lens clean, as dirt and fingerprints can significantly affect the quality of captured images.
Waterproof Seal Integrity: The BACK COVER must be properly closed for effective water sealing. The camera should never be opened underwater. The rubber seal on the BACK COVER forms the waterproof barrier; it must be kept clean, as even a single hair or grain of sand can cause a leak.
Post-Saltwater Use: After every use in salt water, the exterior of the product and the seal must be rinsed with non-salt water and thoroughly dried. Failure to do so can lead to corrosion or seal failure, damaging the product.
Storage: After use, the camera should be rinsed with clean water and kept dry for storage.
