GETTING STARTED

When you use the KidiZoom ® Studio camera for the first time, switch the Master Power Switch to the **position.
When the Master Power Switch** is in the position, it is not possible to charge the camera or play any activities, and the system clock will be reset.

BATTERY CHARGING

Note: Adult operation required.

• Make sure the camera is not in use and the Master Power Switch is in the position. Pull up the rubber cover over the Micro-USB port on the side of the camera.

• Insert the Micro-USB Cable (small end) into the Micro-USB Port on the camera.

• Insert the large end of the Micro-USB cable into a USB port on a computer.

• When the battery is charging, a red LED will light up and you will see the battery charging icon.

• When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn green, then the screen will turn off. You may then disconnect the camera from the power source.

Charging Guidelines

Only charge this device using the included Micro-USB cable connected to a computer. Do not charge using a third-party adaptor. Before use, inspect the cable to confirm that it is in good condition and that there are no breaks or exposed wires. Ensure there are no particles or liquid (water, juice, etc.) in either of the connectors before plugging at either end of the cable. The device should be completely dry with no debris in the cable connectors when charging. Plugin the cable securely, in the correct orientation. If the device is on when plugged in, a dialog box may open on your computer to allow you to access the device’s drive. Never leave the device unattended while charging. Do not charge your device on soft surfaces, as they can trap heat around the
device. Typical charging time is between 3-4 hours if the battery is fully depleted. Disconnect the device when it is fully charged. Do not leave the device charging for more than 5 hours.

Note: The actual charging time  depends on the charging current, the existing charge and the ambient temperature of the charging environment.
The optimal ambient temperature is 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).

BATTERY LIFE

Like with other electronic devices, the more the camera is used, the quicker the battery will drain. The battery will last approximately two hours with continuous use while taking photos and videos. With typical usage, the battery will last longer. The remaining battery capacity will display in the top right corner of the screen. When the battery level is low , recharge the battery before further use. When the battery level is too low , the camera will not turn on until it is charged.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF

To preserve battery life, the KidiZoom ® Studio will automatically shut off after a few minutes without input. When recording videos or using the time-lapse video function, the camera will not automatically turn off until the process completes.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Charge the camera regularly to keep it operating at optimal performance, even when the camera isn’t in use. Be sure to charge the camera at least every six months.

BATTERY NOTICE

Misuse of batteries can lead to them bursting, causing a fire or chemical burns. Please follow these precautions:

• Do not disassemble the unit.

• Do not crush and do not expose the battery to any shock or force such as hammering, dropping or stepping on it.

• Do not short circuit.

• Do not expose to high temperatures or place near a heat source.
  Do not leave in direct sunlight for any length of time.

• Do not dispose of it in fire.

• Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries.

• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

• Keep the battery dry.

• Examine the battery charging cord periodically for conditions such as damage to the output cord, housing, or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. In the event of such
  conditions, the battery charging cord should not be used until properly repaired or replaced.

• If you find the time between charges is considerably shortened with no change in usage, the battery could be nearing the end of its life. Please dispose of the used battery as described in this manual. The battery life varies from battery to battery depending on storage, operating conditions and environment.

GREEN SCREEN BACKGROUND SETUP (INDOOR USE RECOMMENDED)

Some of the features of the camera use the included Green Screen cloth. Parental assistance is required to safely secure the cloth. Depending on your home environment, the Green Screen can be hung any number of ways: with clothes pegs, binder clips, books or weights, drawing pins, and magnets are just a few ideas. Find a place to mount it where the camera can be positioned approximately three feet or one meter away, with room for your child to be safe in the middle. Hang the cloth so that the rougher side faces the camera. The camera’s
effects work best with even, cool white lighting and with a few wrinkles in the cloth as possible. For best results, make sure that there are no shadows or direct sunlight falling on the Green Screen cloth.

NOTE

KidiZoom®Studio FAQ
Q – Can I use my own Green Screen instead of the included cloth?
A – Yes, you can. For best results, we recommend finding a cloth that’s non- reflective and the same shade of green as the included Green Screen.
Q – What are the best light settings for the green screen effects?
A – The green screen effects work best with even, cool white lighting.
Q – Can I use other pictures or videos as my own Green Screen background?
A – You can use your own pictures as Green Screen still backgrounds by selecting the Photo Background theme in Green Screen Studio. For best results, make sure the image is 1280 x 720 Baseline JPG, and transfer it to the DOWNLOAD/PHOTO folder of the camera from your computer. The camera cannot use external videos as backgrounds.
