You will need to pair the camera and smart device again if you ended pairing by selecting any of the following options:

Auto Power Off

At default settings, the camera will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for about 30 seconds. Until you are fully acquainted with the camera and the app, we recommend extending the auto-off delay to 5 minutes by selecting 5 min for Camera settings > Auto off in the SnapBridge 360/170 Camera tab.

Before Pairing

Ready the camera and smart device. Before using the camera:

  • Press the movie button for about 3 seconds to turn the camera off and confirm that the power lamp is off.
  • Check that the battery has sufficient charge to prevent the camera turning off unexpectedly.
  • Disable airplane mode.
  • Insert a memory card after checking to be sure that it has space available.
  • Check that the HDMI and USB cables are disconnected.

Note: Do not use the Bluetooth option in your device’s settings app to pair the camera with the smart device.
