GETTING STARTED

Welcome to your DragonTouch Vision 4 Lite. To capture videos and photos, you need a memory Card (sold separately) to start recording.

Memory Cards
Please use brand name memory cards that meet these requirements:

• Class 10 or UHS-I rating
• Capacity up to 64GB (FAT32)

Note:

1. Format the memory card before using the camera. To keep your memory card in good condition, reformat it on a regular basis. Reformatting erases all your content, so make sure to offload your photos and videos before reformatting.
2. FAT32 format memory card stops recording when the file size reaches 4GB and starts to record again on a new file.
