Using an SD Memory Card

for a few practice videos or photos. We strongly
suggest that you purchase an SD or SDHC Card for
recording in the field. (Maximum supported card
size is 32 GB –we recommend an 8 or 16 GB
card.)

the camera. Press that button to power on the
camera.

Selecting the Video Resolution:
IMPORTANT: We recommend shooting video in WVGA (standard definition for the Web) for maximum
compliance with the Medill-recommended video editing software.
Setting the Date/Time
Using your External Microphone
The Zi10 has a built-in microphone, suitable for b-roll audio. But for interviews and recording your narration
track, you should use your lavalier microphone or a stick microphone. You can alter the sensitivity of your
external mic by adjusting the Microphone Gain in the Settings Menu.

Transferring your Files to your Computer
Turn off the camera and use the USB connector to connect it to your computer.
To find your video and photo files, navigate to ―My Computer‖ or the finder menu, and the name of the card
will pop up as a drive.
The .MOV files are your video files. Copy and paste them into a new folder on your computer.
**If you filmed in anything other than WVGA, you may need to edit your video using the Arcsoft Media
Impression for Kodak software (provided on the camera) if you are using a PC, or using the iLife video editing
software if you are using a Mac. See additional documentation for instructions on editing video.
