Using a Taope camera is relatively straightforward and simple. To begin, make sure the battery is charged and insert it into the camera. Once your battery is inserted, you can turn on your Taope camera by pressing the power button located on top of the device. After turning on your camera, use the toggle switch to select either video or picture mode depending on what type of content you are looking to capture. Once in either mode, use the viewfinder to frame up your shot and press down lightly on the shutter button to take a photo or hit record if capturing video footage. You can review all photos or videos that have been taken using both touchscreen preview at back of device as well as through viewing them directly from memory card after uploading contents onto computer for further editing if necessary.
