Powering up Bigshot

Using Battery
  • Insert a 1.5V AA battery into the battery slot. You are all set!

Using Dynamo
  • Turn off the camera by setting the mode dial to OFF position.
  • Gently rotate the hand crank clockwise as shown in the figure.
  • Maintain a speed of 30 to 60 rotations per minute (rpm).
  • The camera can take one picture for every 4 to 6 rotations.
Warning: Rotating the hand crank at less than 30rpm will not charge the supercap fast enough.   Also, if you try to rotate faster than 60rpm and apply too much force on the hand crank, then you may damage the gear box.
