    This camera doesn't have any configuration choices. There is not a menu, nor any indicator for how much recording time you have passed nor have left on the memory. Functionality is via the power button. Using a USB power adapter and the enclosed Micro USB cable, you can keep the camera plugged in for recordings.

    Press the Power button to turn the camera on. The Indicator Light will glow blue, then a chime will sound when the boot up process is finished and the Indicator light will turn a solid green.

    Click the + (Import) button to navigate to your .MP4 clips copied from the camera media. They will import into the library and convert them to an MP4 that is stitched together and compatible with a quicktime player. Unfortunately, the stitching application splits the rear camera, so it is at the edges of the quicktime. Note that the application will also store a catalog of clips, so as long as they are still located in the same directory that is accessible by the computer's application, they will continue to appear when the application is launched. To remove the, right click the clip to "Remove Media"

    Keefe Boerner is working on a drag and drop workflow to take the files into Adobe After Effects and stitch them together in a format that doesn't split the 'rear' camera. Drop him a line at "Keefe.Boerner@austin.utexas.edu" if you need to be aware of that workflow.
