GETTING STARTED

Welcome to your new KB Action Camera.

Before you get shooting, please review the User

Guide carefully to ensure you get the maximum performance out of your camera.

Battery Charging

We recommend that you fully charge your camera before use. A full charge is approximately 2.5 hours using a 5V 0.5/1A

Charger.

The charging indicator LED light on the top of the camera will be RED when charging and will be OFF when charged. For further information about the battery, see the battery guidelines.

MicroSD Card Compatibility

Your camera requires a MicroSD Card (not included).

Kaiser Baas recommends the use of a brand name Class UHS-1 or higher MicroSD Card.

04 - ENG

Any content recording higher than

1080P@60FPS will require a Class UHS-1 or higher card.

There is only one correct way to insert the

MicroSD card. Do not force the card into the slot as it may damage the camera and card.

The maximum card size is 64gb. The list of recommended MicroSD cards can be found at: www.kaiserbaas.com/support

Format Card

Before you start recording for the first time, we recommend you format the MicroSD card.

The format option is found in the Settings

Menu. For information on how to navigate the menu please see the Navigation Guide.

Note: Formatting the card will permanently erase all data on the card. Be sure to backup any content prior to formatting.

The Power/Mode button cycles through the cameras modes and settings. Click the power button consecutively until the desired mode/ page appears.

05 - ENG

The Record/OK button will start/stop recording video, capture photos and confirm/select menu items.

When you are in the Settings Mode, hold the record button to switch between each Setting category.

VIDEO MODE

Modes

The X250 features 2 key modes; Video Mode and Photo Mode.

The following guides will help you understand each mode.

Video Resolution

Your action camera can be set to support an array of resolutions and frame rates.

06 - ENG

The higher the resolution the greater the detail and clarity of footage. Higher frames-per-second (FPS) capture more motion and appear smoother on playback.

VIDEO MODE

Note: Higher resolutions will become inactive if the memory card is not Class 10 or higher.

Tip: Recording in higher resolutions/fps also impacts battery life. Refer to the battery guide for more tips on battery management.

Time lapse

Time-lapse is a creative technique that records footage at a very low frame rate. Playing it back at a higher frame rate shows a rapid change over time. This technique is most effective when recording scenes or objects which have a slow state of change, e.g. a sunset or a flower blossoming.

This option captures video at specified intervals without audio ready for playback and sharing.

Time lapse can be set to the following intervals

1/5/10/30/60 seconds.

Note: Time lapse mode must be turned off in order to record normal or Slow-motion videos.

VIDEO MODE

Slow Motion

Normal footage being played at a slower speed. Slow motion only works with the minimum frame rate of 60 fps to be able to produce smooth footage. 1080x1920P 60FPS or 1280x720P 120FPS resolution must be selected from Video Resolution before turning the Slow-motion mode on. This mode will not be active on any other video resolutions.

Image Stabilisation

This reduces shakiness and blur when shooting video.

Loop Recording

This allows you to record continuously using footage intervals of 2/3/5 minutes. The camera will delete the oldest loop recording file and replace with the latest recording when the

MicroSD is full.

08 - ENG

Motion Detection

When selected, this mode will automatically start recording when the X250 detects motion in its field of view.

PHOTO MODE

To enter Photo Mode, click the Power/Mode button once on the top of the camera.

Click the Record/Confirm button to take a photo.
