Tips on capturing the best footage
- Position the camera behind the rearview mirror so that it does not distract or obstruct the driver’s view.
- Ensure both the inside and outside of the windscreen are clean and dry for secure mounting.
- Make sure the camera’s view is not obstructed and is within the wiper zone.
- Angle the camera to reduce the amount of sky in the view, as too much sky can cause overexposure and make the road appear darker.
Tips on memory card performance
- Before using a new microSD card, format it using the camera’s settings.
- Format your microSD card at least once every two weeks to clear invisible memory and reduce the risk of file corruption. Remember to back up any important files before formatting.
- Switch off the camera before removing the microSD card to prevent damage.
- The Muvi KZ2 supports microSD cards with up to 128GB capacity. It is recommended to use a U3 grade card from well-known brands such as SanDisk, Toshiba, or Samsung.
Do not attempt to adjust the camera position or access/change camera settings while driving. Use the camera safely and in accordance with the laws of your country. Please note that you use this camera at your own risk.
