6. Common problems:
Q: why does the red light(memory card malfunction indicator) quickly flicker after inserting the memory card?
A: The reasons are variable. They maybe: 1. Do not set CycleRecord parameter as NO in the setup.ini file. The memory card has no room and it needs
to link with computer and change the cycling shooting parameters, or delete unnecessary files to make room for it. 2. The memory card has encrypted on
other products or encrypted on this camera but it is a long time ago. Then you can try to insert the memory card to camera and input your password, if it
still cannot work, you can try to reset the password. If password resetting cannot work, then the memory card must be broken down or encrypted by
