High-speed TF cards carry the C4 or C6 mark.  While replaying images and videos, “file error” is indicated Error in the process of saving materials on TF card, thus causing incomplete saving of file. Use the “formatting” functionality in the video camera to re-format the TF card.  Blurry images produced Check if there is dirt or fingerprint on the lens; wipe the lens with paper before taking pictures or videos.  Images look dark while taking pictures of the sky, water surface and in other settings Environments with significant contrast will affect the automatic exposure functionality of the camera. This is be rectified by adjusting the “EV” value in the settings menu of the equipment.
 Colour output is somewhat lacking in cloudy environment and under interior lightings Check the “white balance” function of the equipment and set it as automatic.  Images with interference that appears as horizontal lines This is due to wrong setting for “light source frequency”.
