After another 7 seconds the blue LED will turn off. WAIT.
•
After a second or two the yellow LED will turn on indicating the firmware file has
been automatically deleted.
•
The camera is now in standby mode and ready for use.
Recording using an external power supply
With the Mobius, it is possible to charge the battery and record at the same time using a
standard external USB 5V DC power supply. The power supply may be mains driven
(normal household wall plug), or run off batteries, including the car charger USB plug
(optional accessory) and cable supplied with the camera.
External USB power supplies usually only use the +5V and the - (Ground/Earth) wires. The
2 data wires are normally not used. However, some USB power supplies designed for a
specific USB device may use different wiring schemes and thus may not work with this
camera. To avoid possible problems, always use a generic power supply.
When turned on, the camera checks for an electric signal on the two Data wires. If a signal
is found, the camera assumes it is connected to a PC and recording will not be possible -
see below "Recording when directly connected to a PC".
For recording video or taking pictures using a standard external power supply connection,
the USB power supply can be connected at any time, i.e. before the camera is turned on,
before the recording is started, or after the recording has been started.
►Only use a quality chargers capable of supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of at
least 5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current and can lead to
premature battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the camera.
Recording when directly connected to a PC
With the Mobius, it is possible to charge the battery and record videos or time-lapse photos
at the same time while connected to a PC for charging only. You cannot access the SD
while recording.
In order to do this, the video or time-lapse photo recording must be started before the
camera is connected to the PC. It is not possible to record if the camera is turned on while
connected to a PC. Likewise it is not possible to take single still pictures while the camera is
connected to the PC.
Additional information
The following functions/parameters need additional explanation:
Power On Default
The Mobius startup mode can be set to Video Mode 1, Video Mode 2 or Photo Mode. The
setting will have a direct influence on the Auto Power-on Record parameter (see below).
