two “beeps” to indicating that the video recording has stopped and the Camera is in ready mode again.
TESTING /TROUBLE SHOOTING THE CAMERA BEFORE FLIGHT
It's a good idea to test that your camera is working before beginning flight.
Start by making sure that you TILT ™ is properly synced to the controller (see How to Sync pg 4). Note: there
is no need to start the rotors as the camera function is a separate system. You only need to be synced.
1. Turn the drone upside down (it is recommended to just hold in your hand) and insert a microSDHC card.
The micro SDHC card can only fit in one way so do not force it. When the micro SDHC card is installed all the
way you will hear a “Click” sound and a flashing Red LED light should stay solid on the belly of the camera
(see Camera Diagram W4). The solid red light indicates that you have properly installed the microSDHC card
and are ready for taking pictures and videos. If you don’t see the solid red LED indicator light then start
again. Remember to make sure that the drone and controller are properly synced and that the microSDHC
card is inserted until you hear a click
2. Testing the Still Photo Feature: Keeping the drone upside down, quickly depress and release the
CAMERA button on the top right hand side of the controller. A green LED should appear and flash 3x.
Congratulations you just took a picture and tested your camera. If you did not see 3 green lights flash then
you must start again from the beginning.
3. Testing the Video Recording Feature: Keeping the drone upside down, depress and hold down the
CAMERA button for 2 seconds. A green LED light on the camera belly will appear and begin to flash
continuously. This means that you are recording video. To stop recording video simply press and release the
Camera button one more time and the Green LED light should off, indicating that the camera is once again
in ready mode.
