conserving battery
The Drift HD comes with a rechargeable 1110mAh Lithium-Ion battery, allowing you
to record continuously for hours between charges. However, sometimes you may nd
yourself in a location without a power outlet to charge your camera with. Also, cold
conditions drain battery power at a faster rate. Fortunately, the Drift HD comes with a
number of features to extend the battery life. These can all be found in the Setup Menu.
Note: Changing camera settings is described in the Setup Menu section on page 23-24.
LCD O
The Drift HD’s built-in LCD screen consumes power, so one of the best ways to
extend your battery life is to use the LCD Auto-O function. By default this LCD
screen is always on, but it can be set to turn o when no buttons are pressed for a
while (the exact time interval is chosen when turning this function on). The camera
will still function as normal when the screen is switched o – in Live Preview, the
camera is ready to record at any time, and if recording is in progress, it will continue
to record with the screen o. The remote can also be used with the screen o. The
screen can be turned on again by pressing any button.
! Do not use the Select button to switch the camera screen back on – doing so will
begin a new recording or stop the current recording if the camera is in Live Preview.
Unless you specically want to start or stop a recording, use any of the other buttons.
Changing the Brightness Setting
The LCD backlight also consumes power. If you don’t want to switch the LCD screen
o, it is possible to reduce its intensity by using the LCD Brightness setting on the
second page of the Setup menu. You may notice a slight increase in battery life if you
use a lower brightness setting.
Camera Auto-O
It is also possible to set the camera to switch o entirely when no buttons are pressed
for a set amount of time (the exact time interval is chosen when turning this function
on). The main use of this function is to automatically switch o the camera in case
you forget to do so yourself.
Note: This will not switch the camera o while recording is in progress. However,
when the camera does switch o, you will need to switch it back on again before you
can record any new video.
Note: The remote control will not operate the camera while the camera is switched o.
Spare batteries
If the battery life of the Drift HD is not long enough for your purposes, you can charge
a second battery before you set out and then swap it when the first runs out. Spare
1110mAh batteries and external PowerPacks are available from Drift dealers. Please
visit our ocial website www.driftinnovation.com for more information regarding
batteries and accessories.
! Always change the battery in a clean,
dry and safe environment. Getting
camera batteries wet will damage them
and may result in injury to yourself. For
your safety, never use damaged batteries.
camera care
The Drift HD is specically designed for extreme sports. It is a very durable piece of
equipment. However, to ensure a long and healthy life for your camera, please follow
the instructions below.
Cleaning the Camera
During your sporting activities, the camera will inevitably get dirty or wet. Although
this is not an issue, it is recommended that you clean the Drift HD after use. Clean
the camera thoroughly with a damp cloth and let it air dry before you open the back
hatch or rotate the lens. Take extra care when cleaning the built-in microphone or the
internal speaker.
Cleaning the Lens and LCD Screen
In order to provide a clear image for high denition video, it is important to keep the
camera lens clean. Be careful not to scratch the camera lens whilst cleaning it. Wipe
o any surface mud or water from the lens with a damp cloth and use a dry scratch-
proof cloth to polish the lens once it is dry.
Cleaning the Seals
To ensure that the camera remains weatherproof and water resistant, it may be
necessary to occasionally clean the contact surfaces around the rear camera hatch
seal. This can be done by wiping a damp cloth around the seal. Be careful not to leave
excessive water on the seal, and let it air dry.
! Scratch-proof cloths are available from
any camera shop or optician.
! You can run a little Vaseline® around
the rubber seal from time to time to keep
the seal airtight.
