Genie Quick Tips

When recording photographs always, set your camera and lens to manual focus (MF). If set to Auto Focus (AF) the camera can misfire leading to missed frames.
Turn image review OFF on your camera. On some cameras, image review can cause missed frames in your time-lapse.

Firmware Tips

If you’re having difficulty updating the Firmware, try these tips.

• Try to update on a different device. If it works you can go back to using your original device.

• Do not connect to other Bluetooth devices while updating.
  It’s best to turn off other nearby Bluetooth devices completely, or the update may fail.

• Try the update from a different location; in some situations, unknown interference can cause a failed update.
