Scenario 1: The camera stops recording unexpectedly

1. Check if overheating protection is triggered

If an overheating protection alert appears on the camera:

Please refer to: X Series: Camera Stops Recording due to Heating or Overheating

2. Check if it's due to insufficient card speed (for X4, X4 Air, and X5 only)

If you are using an X4, X4 Air, or X5 camera and receive a message indicating insufficient card speed:

Please refer to: X Series: Insufficient Card Speed

3. Check the camera firmware version

If the issue persists, please update the camera firmware to the latest version.

Please refer to: X Series: Firmware Update

4. Check feature settings

If you have enabled the Voice Control or Gesture Control feature, please disable it and check if the issue is resolved.

Please refer to: X Series: Voice Control and X Series: Gesture Control

5. Perform a factory reset

If the issue persists, try performing a factory reset on the camera.

Please refer to: X Series: Factory Reset

Please note:

• X2 does not currently support factory reset
• A factory reset will restore camera settings to default but will not delete files on the SD card.

Scenario 2: The camera frequently starts and stops recording, or an X5 camera automatically stops recording and beeps

Please check the camera's USB port to ensure there is no dust or debris that might cause the camera to incorrectly detect a connected external device.

If none of the above solutions resolves your issue, we recommend you apply for Insta360 Repair Service for professional diagnostics.

Scenario 4: The camera frequently stops recording unexpectedly (for ONE X only)

Description

During recording, the camera frequently stops recording after a few minutes or over ten minutes (whether powered off or not), but the camera does not freeze.
