FAQ
What is the logic for switching USB modes on the camera?
Default setting: By default, the camera will automatically enter the "File Transfer" mode upon its first wired connection to a computer. To change the mode, you can tap "Switch USB Mode" to access the mode selection page.
Mode memory: The camera will remember the last used mode and automatically apply it the next time it is connected to an external device.
Please note: If the "Reverse Charging" mode was selected last, the camera will return to the USB mode selection page the next time it is powered on.
