Go Pro is charging correctly and should run / charge with the travel adapter you were using.
- Push button on side to turn it on. I have noticed that sometimes if you hold the power button too long, it will turn the red light on, but refuse to actually turn the camera on. It's finicky. Pull the battery, put it back in, then push the power button quickly. Should be ok.
- Touch the screen. You'll see the standard video settings screen. Swipe left, you'll get the Time Lapse / Time Warp settings.
- The current settings should roughly work: 1080p / 0.5s per shot / Wide Angle. If you want to change that, tap the "Time Lapse" capsule on the screen, and you can edit the settings. Don't believe the 1H:08 number in the corner. I don't know how it comes up with that.
- When you are satisfied with the settings, tap the screen to get rid of the text, so you can see the whole screen. Line it up, and ..
- Hit the red button on top. Should record until you hit the red button again, or until the sd card fills up.
- If you have a Mac, you can download the "Go Pro Quic" app to get files directly from the Go Pro, when attached by USB. You can also remove the SD card and put it in directly. Not sure what gymnastics are required under Windows. Might just work without any help.
- Profit!
