Setup...
Switch the shutter to the off position (up) and turn the camera on, either with the original buttons, or by holding down the micro switch until the camera powers up.
Repeatedly press the select button (back button or micro-switch) until LQ us highlighted and flashing. Use the shutter button to either select LQ (320x240) or not (640x480). Here I gave selected 320x240 resolution.
Repeatedly press the select button (back button or micro-switch) again until the video icon appears. Select it with the shutter button (top)
Turn the camera off by holding down the micro switch (or back button) and switch the toggle switch down. The camera is now ready to take a video.
Arming the camera ready for launch...
It is of course up to you
how you attach your camera to the rocket.
Use a paper clip to hold
the micro switch down, anchoring it through one of the convenient
holes in the base of the switch. During launch this would be attached
to the launcher string.
The camera will turn on but do nothing
else. It is armed and ready to go. In this state it won't turn itself
off again.
Retire and pressurise your rocket at a safe distance.
Trigger the camera to start videoing...
Pulling the launcher string
would also pull a string attached to the paper clip, pulling it off the micro switch
and opening the contacts.
After a moment the camera begins a continuous beep. It has
begun to record video.
Pull the string all the way to launch the rocket and
capture your in flight video
Once the rocket has landed,
assuming the memory isn't full, switch the toggle switch to off
and you have your recording ready to download to your computer.
Do
not loose power to your camera, for example by removing the batteries,
this will wipe the SDRAM and you will loose your hard won video
footage.
