Use the camera controls or the projected image (where supported) to start/stop video and to operate split-screen functions.

Recommendations

For best image quality, ensure the object is well-centred in the shooting area, use the optical zoom before engaging digital zoom to minimise loss of detail, and keep the lens and LED area free of dust. When moving the camera between rooms, transport it in the supplied soft case and secure the unit with the Kensington lock when left unattended.
