DECEMBER 2015 87

Sample Image

The right side of the camera has

three buttons, Play, OK and Menu. All the

three buttons are multi-functional. The

OK button doubles up as Mode button,

to switch between Video and Image,

whereas the Menu and Play button are to

scroll front and back through images and

menu, respectively. The left side of the

camera has two round buttons, Record

and On/Off. The Record button is bigger,

raised from the surface and is textured,

making it easier to indentify when you

can’t see the camera. For example: when

mounted on a helmet on your head. The

On/Off button also doubles up as the

delete button. The bottom of the camera

has the lid that opens up to reveal the

battery, memory card slot, and HDMI and

USB ports. There is a ridge on the lid that

can be latched to lock it from opening.

This is good, as the camera does not

require an additional waterproof casing to

be put on.
