Important Information
Memory and Storage Management
The memory card is used only for temporary storage. When a photo or video is captured, it is first saved to the camera’s memory card, then downloaded by the HALO app. Once downloaded, HALO automatically deletes the file from the camera to prevent the card from filling up.
Heat Management
For best performance, use the camera in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct sunlight.
While connected, the HALO app monitors camera temperature. If it reaches a critical level, HALO will automatically switch to the iPad camera to prevent overheating. After the camera cools down, you can reconnect it through the Camera Manager, which can be found in Mission Control.
