4.1 መሠረታዊ አሠራር
- ማብራት/ማጥፋት፡ Press and hold the button to power the camera on or off.
- መቅዳት ጀምር/አቁም፡ Briefly press the button to start or stop video recording. The indicator light will change to reflect the recording status.
4.2 የቪዲዮ ቀረጻ
The RunCam Thumb 2 supports ultra-clear 4K60FPS video recording. For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, especially during prolonged static recording, consider reducing the resolution for long-duration recordings. In-flight recording is generally not subject to the same thermal limitations.

4.3 የጂሮፍሎው መረጋጋት
With its built-in gyroscope, the camera generates Gyro data files, enabling smooth and stabilized video output using Gyroflow software. This feature significantly enhances video quality by reducing unwanted shakes and vibrations.
4.4 Remote Control Recording
The camera supports remote-control HD recording, allowing you to start and stop recording via your flight controller. This integration provides seamless operation during flight.

የርቀት መቆጣጠሪያ በ UART (የሚመከር)
For remote control, connect the camera to your flight controller via UART. For example, with a Speedy Bee-F7 flight controller:
- Solder the power wire of the Type-C control cable to the 5V pad on the flight controller.
- Solder the GND wire to the GND pad.
- Solder the Tx wire to an R3 pad and the Rx wire to a T3 pad (or equivalent UART pins on your specific flight controller).

4.5 የካሜራ ቅንብሮች በ RunCam መተግበሪያ (QR ኮድ)
Adjust camera settings such as resolution, saturation, exposure, and recording mode using the RunCam App. The app generates a QR code that the camera scans to apply the settings.
- Go to the RunCam App and select "Thumb 2".
- Configure your desired settings and generate a QR code within the app.
- Power on the camera. Double-press the button to switch to scanning mode; the indicator light will turn solid green.
- Use the camera to scan the generated QR code from the RunCam App. The light will turn solid red upon successful scanning. Optimal scanning distance is approximately 25mm.

5. ጥገና
- የሌንስ መከላከያ; The camera features a replaceable protective cover to effectively shield the lens from damage. Replace the cover if it becomes scratched or damaged.
- ND Filter: The included ND filter set is replaceable. Use ND filters to improve video quality in bright conditions and reduce the "jello" effect.
- ማጽዳት፡ Gently clean the lens and camera body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- ማከማቻ፡ ካሜራውን በቀጥታ ከፀሀይ ብርሀን እና በማይጠቀሙበት ጊዜ ከከፍተኛ ሙቀት ርቆ በቀዝቃዛና ደረቅ ቦታ ያከማቹ።
6. መላ መፈለግ
| ጉዳይ | ሊሆን የሚችል ምክንያት | መፍትሄ |
|---|---|---|
| Camera shuts down during recording. | Overheating, especially during static recording at 4K@60FPS. | Reduce video resolution for longer recordings. Ensure adequate airflow around the camera. In-flight recording typically provides sufficient cooling. |
| Micro SD card ejects after a crash. | Impact from a crash dislodges the card. | Apply a small piece of tape over the SD card slot for added security. Consider using a more protective TPU mount. |
| ካሜራ አይበራም። | የኃይል አቅርቦት የለም ወይም የተሳሳተ መጠን የለምtage. | Ensure a stable 5V power supply is connected correctly. Check all cable connections. |
| Unable to change settings via QR code. | Incorrect scanning procedure or distance. | Ensure the camera is in scanning mode (solid green indicator). Hold the QR code approximately 25mm from the camera lens. |
