The Flip Ultra video camera is a convenient, pocket-sized recorder with a built-in USB drive, which allows you to record high definition videos and instantly upload them to your computer, making it easy to upload films to popular websites. The video camera also comes with built-in editing software that you can use to shorten your clips, edit clips together to make a movie, add music and titles to a film or capture screenshots to save as photos.
Instructions
1. Turn your Flip camera upside down to find a switch that locks the battery compartment. Turn this switch to the "unlock" compartment and slide down the cover located under the camera lens.
2. Insert two AA batteries into your camera, replace the cover and slide the battery compartment switch to the locked position.
3. Turn your camera on by pressing the power button on the side of your camera.
4. Look at the camera monitor. It will indicate the amount of recording time you have left, and will display the image that the lens is picking up.
5. Frame your desired shot and press the big red button to start recording. You will hear a little beep, and the word "Ready" in the left hand corner of your monitor will be replaced with the recording time.
6. Use the plus and minus signs above and below the red button to zoom in and out.
7. Screw a Flip tripod (not included) into the bottom of your camera, next to the battery compartment lock switch, to stand your camera on a flat surface so that you don't have to hold it constantly.
8. Press the big red button a second time to stop recording.
9. Press the "Play" button to the left of the big red button to watch your clip. Use the left and right arrow keys to the left and right of the red button to go back and forth and watch older and newer clips.
10. Delete the clip currently displayed on your monitor by pressing the "Trash Can" button to the right of the big red button, and selecting "Yes."
11. Watch your clips on TV by plugging your TV cable's output plug into the side of your camera, and plugging the input plugs into their corresponding ports on the front, back or side of your TV. The TV adapter plugs are not included with the camera.
12. Edit or import clips by releasing the USB plug on the side of your Flip camera, and plugging it into your computer's USB port. The Flip video software should automatically install on your computer. If it doesn't automatically launch, go to "Start" and "Run," and type "F:\Setup_FlipShare.exe" into the text box to install the editing software.
