INTRODUCTION

Thanks for purchasing your new ViDi! Are you ready for the adventures that await you?

From this moment onward your life will be filled with a lot more action.

Your ViDi action camera shoots in full HD 1080p with up to 12 megapixel image

resolution. It comes ready to rock n’ roll with a charged battery, pre-installed SD card,

and an extension pole for when things get crazy. Your ViDi has it all, but it’s small

enough that it won’t cramp your style. Take it everywhere to capture all the important

moments of your daily (and sometimes not so daily) life. Be sure to read this entire

manual carefully before using your ViDi, and keep the manual for future reference. Or

you can just take it out of the box, go outside, and figure it out along the way. Your call.
