Overview

This document serves as an easy guide for the Vivitar 8K Digital Camcorder (DVR 8K-KIT v2), providing essential information for its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is designed to help users understand the camera's functions and ensure proper usage.

The camcorder is a digital device capable of recording videos and capturing photos. It features an 8K resolution, indicating high-quality image and video capture. The device is designed for ease of use, as suggested by the "Easy Guide" title.

Function Description

The Vivitar 8K Digital Camcorder is primarily used for recording videos and taking still photographs. It supports various recording modes, including normal video, slow motion, loop recording, and time-lapse video. For photography, it offers single photo capture, auto photo mode (automatically taking photos after a specified number of seconds), burst photo mode (taking multiple photos in succession), and a timer mode for delayed photo capture.

The camcorder is equipped with a touch screen for intuitive navigation and control. Users can access different modes and settings directly from the screen. Alternatively, physical buttons are available for controlling various functions, including power, mode selection, menu access, zoom, photo shutter, and record/stop.

One notable feature is the IR night vision and LED light capability, allowing for recording in low-light conditions. This can be toggled on or off using a dedicated button. The camcorder also supports an external microphone via a 3.5mm jack, enhancing audio quality for recordings.

For connectivity, the camcorder includes a Type-C USB interface for charging and connecting to a computer. It also has an HDMI output interface for connecting to high-definition televisions, enabling playback of recorded content on a larger screen.

A built-in Wi-Fi function allows the camcorder to connect to a smartphone or tablet via the "HelloCam - Action Camera" app. This feature enables users to monitor the camcorder remotely, take photos/videos, and download content to their smart devices. The app requires Android 6.0 or higher or iOS 8.0 or higher.

Usage Features

  • Power On/Off: The camcorder powers on automatically when the touch screen is opened. It can also be powered on by pressing the Power/OK/IR Night/LED button. To power off, close the touch screen or hold the Power/OK/IR Night/LED button for 3 seconds. A brief delay of 5 seconds is noted for proper power cycling.
  • Mode Selection: After powering on, the camcorder defaults to video capture mode. Users can switch between video and photo modes, as well as various sub-modes (e.g., slow video, loop video, auto photo), by tapping the mode icon on the screen or pressing the physical Mode button.
  • Settings: Custom settings can be adjusted through the system menu. This is accessed by tapping the setting icon on the screen or pressing the Menu button, then navigating to "Setting" using the Up/Down buttons and confirming with the OK button. System settings include screen brightness, anti-flicker, indicator light control, screen saver, automatic shut-down, tone settings, audio noise, boot power-off music, remote control, icon display, Wi-Fi, language, time format, date setting, memory card format, device information, and factory reset.
  • Memory Card: The camcorder supports SD memory cards up to 256GB, with a recommendation for class-10 SD/SDHC cards. It is crucial to format the memory card in the camcorder before first-time use. The guide provides instructions for inserting, removing, and formatting the memory card. Formatting erases all data, so users are advised to back up important data beforehand.
  • Recording and Photography: To take a photo, press the Photo Shutter button. To start a video recording, press the Record/Stop button; press it again to stop. The Photo Shutter button can also be used to pause/continue video recording.
  • Playback: Recorded videos and photos can be viewed in playback mode. This mode is accessed by tapping the "Playback" icon on the screen or pressing the Power/OK/Light button. Users can scroll through images using the Up/Down buttons. Options for deleting content are available within playback mode.
  • Connecting to TV: The camcorder can be connected to an HDTV using an HDMI cable (Mini HDMI to HDMI). This allows for viewing content on a larger screen. The camera's display automatically switches to the HDTV, and the camera screen will turn black, which is normal.
  • Connecting to Computer: The camcorder can be connected to a computer via a USB cable for transferring images or using it as a PC camera (webcam). When connected, the camcorder powers on and presents options: "MSDC" (Mass Storage Mode) for file transfer, "PCCAM" for PC camera functionality, and "Charging." In PC camera mode, only the digital zoom lever is operational.
  • Remote Control: A remote controller is included, allowing users to control various camcorder functions from a distance of up to 20 meters. It uses CR2025 or CR2032 3V button batteries. Users are instructed to remove an insulating paper before first use and reinsert it when not in use to conserve battery. The remote cannot power on the camcorder but can power it off.

Maintenance Features

  • Battery Charging: The camcorder uses a rechargeable lithium battery. Charging is done via a supplied USB cable connected to a 5V/1A~5V/2A adapter or a PC. A red charging indicator light turns on during charging and off when fully charged. Full charging takes approximately 2-3 hours, providing about 70 minutes of recording time with Wi-Fi off.
  • Troubleshooting: The guide includes a troubleshooting section for common issues:
    • Camcorder not turning on: Check battery power, correct battery installation, and ensure the battery insulating paper is removed.
    • Battery not charging: Check if the battery is properly seated (indicator light flashes if not), ensure the charger is connected, and note that charging may be slow or fail below 10°C.
    • Remote control not working: Remove/reinsert the insulating paper or the battery itself. Remember the remote cannot power on the camcorder.
    • Camera crashes: If the camcorder freezes, unplug the battery and reboot. Avoid rapidly pressing buttons during recording.
    • Memory card not recognized: Verify the card is class 10 SD (max 256GB), inserted correctly, and formatted if it's the first use with the camcorder.

Safety Information:

The manual provides important warnings and cautions regarding the safe use of the camcorder and its battery. These include:

  • Avoiding exposure to rain, moisture, excessive heat, and liquids.
  • Not ingesting the coin/button cell battery from the remote control, as it can cause severe internal burns.
  • Keeping batteries away from children and seeking medical attention if swallowed.
  • Cautions against disassembling, crushing, short-circuiting, or exposing the battery pack to high temperatures (above 60°C/140°F).
  • Instructions for proper disposal of used batteries.
  • Recommendations for using wall outlets for charging and avoiding narrow spaces for the AC adapter/charger.
  • Guidance for restarting data transfer if static electricity or electromagnetism causes interruption.

The document emphasizes the importance of reading the manual before use and keeping it for future reference. It also includes FCC statements regarding compliance and interference, as well as Vivitar's warranty information and technical support contact details.
