Playback
Check that the Modes and settings you’ve chosen are right for your scenario by taking a quick
clip and playing it back on your Olfi LCD screen to check its suitable. Playback is also great
for having a quick glance at what you’ve just recorded or captured.
You can delete individual files, or erase everything on your memory card with this feature.
Press and hold the down scrolling arrow on the side of your camera after selecting a file to activate the delete options.
Video Lapse is very similar, but also very different to a time lapse. In essence the end result
will be much the same - a sequence of events produced by images taken at set intervals.
However, although the quality of footage produced by the classic time-lapse method will be
superior to this method, it takes time to produce. This is why we implemented Video Lapse.
With video lapse, you avoid or drastically limit the amount of editing required to get you to the finished product because
it stitches all of the footage together and saves it as one .mp4 file automatically. Simple!

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is one awesome setting. Whilst the end result will be much
the same as Video Lapse – a sequence of events produced by images taken at set intervals,
the quality of the end product will, undoubtedly, be far superior to that created by a video lapse,
but so it should be! Considering that compiling your time lapse takes more effort than a video
lapse. Time lapse will take photos at set intervals – the end result being that you’ll have a few
hundred photos to import, polish and put together to make a time-lapse sequence.
Another one of those features we’ve added to make your post-production editing easier, or
non-existent. In this mode, you can shoot your video as normal (the resolution is fixed) and
it’ll play back in ssssllllooooooooooooowwwwwwww mmmoootttiiiooonnn. Choose from twice
as slow, 4 times as slow or 8 times slower. It’s an awesome little feature.
Perfect for a quick and amusing social media post. Film yourself throwing a stone into a still river, or capture your child
having a meltdown or simply add some humour to any everyday situation. There’s no sound attached to this feature, but
who wants to hear a slur of nonsense?!

Slow Motion
Can’t see a thumbnail snapshot of your footage on playback and presented with a black screen? This is
almost always caused by a memory card fault or using a card which is not fast enough for your camera.
Download a free memory card speed tester to check the integrity of your card.
