Before use, long press the Action Button to perform the "Recalibrate" feature. If the wearing position changes (including rotation of the Tracker), recalibration is required.
Single press the Shutter Button on the Tracker to start recording. Follow the voice prompt, look straight ahead horizontally, and complete the initial view alignment to reduce view deviation.
Once the recording starts, the camera will automatically enable head tracking. Alternatively, when the Tracker is connected, you can manually enable "Head Tracking" on the camera.
For long recording sessions, keep the Tracker sufficiently charged. If you notice the gimbal orientation is inaccurate during recording, you can double-press the Action Button to recenter the gimbal and automatically recalibrate the view.
