Please watch: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XV1YJ1RS3ws
PC CAM:
Hold M button, then connect USB to computer for about 8 seconds, the camera will enter PC CAM mode.
You can set USB mode (U disk or PC CAM) in the menu.

Video Settings:

Resolution：4K 50/30fps、2.5K 50fps, 2.5K 50/30(4:3)fps, 1080p 50fps, 1080p 30fps.
Note: High frame rates make the TV output more smooth! We advice to use

=50fps for FPV!
Note: 4K 50FPS can’t log the gyro data!
Loop recording：Off、1、3 minutes. When the SD card is full, video will be auto loop recording. When the SD card is full, video will be auto loop recording. The oldest file will be deleted first.
WDR：Off、On. WDR effect will be On/Off. Note: When this function is turned on, the image will not become dark even toward the sun. The image would not looks so clear if this function is ON sometimes. As a FPV cam, this function should be turned ON.
Exposure： +2.0、+5/3、+4/3、+1.0、+2/3、+1/3、0、-1/3、-2/3、-1.0、-4/3、-5/3、-2.0.Note:Higher value for brighter image. If you want brighter image, set this value higher. If the image is over exposure, set the value smaller.
Record Audio：Off、On.
Date Stamp：off、On. Set the date time stamps on the video.
Time-lapse record：Off、0.05、0.1、0.5、1、3、5、10，30、60sec.Note: Time-lapse is a video recording mode that captures video at a very low frame rate: around one to two frames per second, although this depends on the length of the recording. When played back, time-lapse video is almost the opposite of slow motion. Higher value for shorter video. There’s no voice in this mode.
Slow Motion：Off，720P 120.Slow motion (commonly abbreviated as slo-mo or slow- mo) is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down.
Metering: Average、Center-weighted、Spot.
Sharpness：Strong、Normal、Soft.
Contrast：High、Medium、Low.
Auto Recording：Off、On.Note: The camera will turn on and record automatically without pressing button.When you stop recording, you need to press the record button. When the power is suddenly cut off or the stop recording button is not pressed, the file will be damaged. You need to use the keyboard to enter the playback mode. When you play back the damaged file, the file will be repaired automatically.
Fixed frame rate：ON: the frame rate will not drop in dark condintions.
Electronic shutter：Fix the shutter speed.
Gyro log：off, on. Save the gyrolog and stable the image in PC.
Gyro calibration：Please place the camera horizontally and keep it sate still, press OK button to start.
System Settings:
Date time setting. Set daytime.
Auto power off：Off、1、2、3、5、10minutes.The camera will turn off when there’s no operation.

Logo watermark： Off、On.
ISO:Auto、100、200、400、800、1600、3200. The term was carried over from film, when the ISO rating was known as the “film speed” and “ASA.” Having a standard of sensitivity is important, as it allows you to shoot the same ISO on different cameras
and trust that the exposure value will be equal. Lower ISO, darker image, less noise. Image effect：Color，Black&white，Sepia。
White balance：Auto、Daylight、Cloudy、Tungsten、Fluorescent、Diving mode。 White balance affects the image, warmer or cooler. Different Lens should use different white balance too. We recommend Hawkeye 4 for the stander lens.
White balance auto lock：When start recording, the current white balance will be locked.
FOV ：Large,Medium,Small. Field of view of the video.Crop the edges of the video to avoid capturing the propellers.
Image rotation：Off,On。Turn the image upside down.
Format：Format the SD card.Note: format the SD card at the first time,or the camera can’t recognize the SD card.
Default settings.if you have any question, you can set to default settings.
Version. Version number. Check its the newest firmware on www.CNfpv.com.
Triggers:
The trigger pins need to be connected to the trigger control cable. Scan to watch.

Note: Don’t connect the trigger pins to any power. If you want to control it by a MCU, connect it to a 3.3V GPIO through a 1K resistance.
Installation:
Soft mount is needed between the camera and the drone frame. Use TPU Mount or 3M double-sided tape.
Record videos:
Please insert SD card, then press Power/OK button once to record. Please use U1 speed SD card at least(8-64G). Format the SD card to FAT32 in the camera at the first time.
Press OK key to stop recording before unplug the power.

Remote control to record video 1:
The following example uses Betaflight F405 flight controller to illustrate how to configure the remote control to turn on/off the video recording function. Use the TX1 pin on the flight (video trigger).
If you use other flight controllers, there may be available TX pads instead of TX1, and they may use different resource allocations. You need to adjust the configuration accordingly for The following example uses Betaflight F405 flight controller to illustrate how  to configure the remote control to turn on/off the video recording function. Use the TX1 pin on the flight controller to control the recording and connect the Naked Cam’s If you use other flight controllers, there may be available TX pads instead of TX1, and they may use different resource allocations. You need to adjust the configuration accordingly for your specific flight controller.
The following example uses Betaflight F405 flight controller to illustrate how to configure the remote control to turn on/off the video recording function. Use the TX1 pin on the flight controller to control the recording and connect the Naked Cam’s Blue wire(video trigger). If you use other flight controllers, there may be available TX pads instead of TX1, and they may use different resource allocations. You need to adjust the configuration accordingly for NIO function of the TX1 pin through the following Betaflight commands. Configure the PINIO function of the TX1 pin through the following Betaflight commands.
resource SERIAL_TX 1 NONE // Close the serial port function of TX1 spindle
resource PINIO 2 A09 // Configure TX1 pin (A09 pin) as PINIO function No. 2
set pinio_box = 40,41,255,255 // Set the PINIO function interval
Save // Save configuration
The following figure configures the PINIO function mapping relationship between the remote controller and the flight controller. In Betaflight configuration, PINIO No. 2 function resource SERIAL_TX 1 NONE // Close the serial port function of TX1 spindle resource PINIO 2 A09 // Configure TX1 pin (A09 pin) as PINIO function No. 2 Set the PINIO function interval
The following figure configures the PINIO function mapping relationship between the remote controller and the flight controller. In Betaflight configuration, PINIO No. 2 function The following figure configures the PINIO function mapping relationship between the remote controller and the flight controller. In Betaflight configuration, PINIO No. 2 function (ie USER2 in the figure below) corresponds to the AUX5 channel of the remote control.
figure below) corresponds to the AUX5 channel of the remote control. figure below) corresponds to the AUX5 channel of the remote control. To activate or deactivate functions on the camera, you need to move the switch from the inactive state (white area) to the active state (yellow area), and state (white area). To The switch configuration of the flight controller and radio controller must match the settings of your own device. Before configuring, make sure you know what you are doing. If you are ontrol function, please cut off or insulate the yellow and green wires separately, and do not connect them to any location.
Remote control to record video 2:
Connect the FC’S LED PIN to Hawkeye 4K naked Blue wire (Video trigger pin).

Change the LED pin to GPIO through betafligh command。（Backup all the settings before modify。 ）
resource LED_STRIP 1 NONE // turn off LED function
resource CAMERA_CONTROL 1 NONE // release CAM function
resource CAMERA_CONTROL 1 A00 // set LED（A00 PIN）to cam control save // save settings

Notes for Gyroflow :
1.Use essential matrix :2.Select Dynamic zooming, then there will be no black side.3.Sync time change to 3-5 second:4.Sync points should be similar number, if its too different, delete it and add a sync point on other point(right click on the mouse). 5.If can’t export video , turn GPU off, change to H.264.

6.Software require Win 10,11. If can’t open the software, install the VC pack: VC_redist.x64.exe .
