Important Messages
Congratulations on your new AKASO Brave 7 Action Camera! You must be excited
to use your new camera, but please spend some time familiarizing yourself withthis manual first so that you get the most out of your camera’s features and use
it safely.
It’s of great importance to regularly update the camera’s firmware. To do this, you
can connect your camera to the AKASO GO app via the camera’s Wifi, and thendownload and install the newest firmware.
1. This camera is a precision instrument. Safeguard it from drops or impacts toprevent damage.
2. Store the camera away from devices or objects with strong magnetic fields or
power, like motors and magnets.
3. Ensure the camera operates within its recommended temperature range. Avoid
leaving it at high or low temperatures for extended periods, as this can reduce
its lifespan.
4. This camera body is waterproof, but make sure all covers are tightly closed andthe lens area is free from debris before immersing it underwater.
5. After using the camera in saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and gently dry itwith a soft cloth.
6. Don’t charge the battery for long periods of time.
7. Keep the battery away from kids and pets to prevent accidents.
8. Remove the battery from the camera if you don’t plan to use it for an extended
period.
9. Store the camera away from sharp objects and moisture-prone areas.

EN

Micro SD Card Use
To capture photos and videos, you’ll need a separate memory card. We recommend
branded memory cards that meet the following criteria:
1. U3
2. Capacity up to 512GB (FAT32)
Warm Tip:
1. Format the memory card in the camera before using it to ensure compatibility.
2. Memory cards larger than the specified maximum capacity can cause issues
like non-recognition or even camera malfunctions like unresponsiveness or
firmware failure.
3. Regularly reformat your memory card for optimal performance. Remember,reformatting erases all data, so transfer your photos and videos before reformatting.
With FAT32, the card will stop recording and create a new file if the file size of arecording reaches 4GB.
Notes
1. Don’t use the card near strong currents or magnetic fields.
2. Don’t let the card touch metal objects, or use any metal tools on it case it’ssqueezed, bent, or falls.
3. Store the card in dry places away from corrosive substances.
4. Insert the card into the card slot in the right orientation.
5. Ensure that no foreign items are inserted into the card slot.
6. Turn off the camera before inserting or removing the card.

IPX8 Waterproof Rating
1. The Brave 7 action camera boasts an IPX8 waterproof rating, allowing submersion
up to 8 meters (26 feet) deep without an external case. However, always ensure
the protective covers are tightly sealed to prevent any leakage. Listen for a click this means the covers are securely fastened and you can begin your underwater
adventure with peace of mind.

2. While the Brave 7 action camera is waterproof, moisture can interfere with thetouchscreen, resulting in screen drift or multiple screen jumps. Therefore, it’sbest to use the physical buttons for underwater operations. For instance, toswitch shooting modes underwater, ensure the camera displays the preview
screen and then press and hold the Up button for 3 seconds.

3. To prevent touchscreen issues underwater, lock the screen by tapping the Lockicon on the quick menu. Unlocking is just as simple: tap the Lock icon andswipe up.
Reminder: The camera cannot be operated through the touchscreen underwater;
please use the buttons instead.
4. If you plan a deep dive, equip your Brave 7 with the waterproof case (soldseparately) to prevent it from getting soaked.
Note: The camera won’t record sound when it’s in the waterproof case.

Overheating Detection
The Brave 7 action camera is designed to detect overheating conditions. Should
the camera get too hot, a red warning stating “Temperature too high! The
camera will automatically shut down” will display on the touchscreen, followedby an automatic shutdown. When this happens, allow the camera to cool down
before using it again. This helps bump up performance by protecting the camera's
hardware from damage.
Heads up:
1. The Brave 7 action camera’s optimal operating temperature range is between-5℃ and 45℃ (23℉ and 113℉). Using the camera in excessively high or low
temperatures may impact its performance.
2. Capturing at a high resolution and frame rate can cause the camera to consume
more power and heat up more quickly, especially in warmer environments.
Consider using lower settings in such conditions to lower the risk of overheating
your Brave 7.

The Slow Motion mode allows the camera to capture footage at your chosen resolution
and slow motion speed, but it saves the video at a playback rate of 30 fps. This ensuresthat on playback, the video displays in a captivating slow-motion effect.
For instance, a 10-second clip shot at 720P 4X results in a 40-second video played
at 720P30FPS. Essentially, the video is played four times slower, making this mode
perfect for capturing fast-moving scenes.
