See What You Shot

To watch the videos you shot with the ContourGPS, start by downloading and installing our

StoryTeller software. You can get it by visiting contour.com/software/storyteller. We offer

versions for both PC and Mac.

After the software is installed, plug the camera in to your computer using the USB cable. The

USB port [G] on the camera is located right next to the microSD card slot. It may take a few

moments for your computer to recognize the camera. Once it does, the camera will be listed in

the My Computer window (or the Finder window on a Mac) and also in the upper left corner of

StoryTeller in the Devices section.

From within StoryTeller click on the camera and your videos will show up in the main pane of

StoryTeller. Each video clip will display a thumbnail from the first frame of the video. To watch

or share your videos click on one (or several) of the videos and press the IMPORT SELECTED

button. To get all of your videos at once, just click the IMPORT ALL button.

When your videos have been imported, you can find them in the Movies section of the Library,

located in the left pane. Choose the movie you want to watch and click play.

Getting Ready for Next Time

Before you go out and hit the slopes, the trail, or the outdoors to record your next epic

adventure with the ContourGPS camera, you need to make sure it’s ready to go.

GET CHARGED!

Most Contour customers charge their Contour camera battery simply by plugging the camera

in to a USB port on an active computer using the provided USB cable. But you can also

purchase separate USB powered battery chargers, car chargers and other accessories at our

online store. (http://store.contour.com). Charging time is generally four to five hours and a

fully changed battery typically delivers between two and three hours of recording time.

MAKE ROOM!

Now that you’ve copied your movies to the computer, you will want to make sure you have

plenty of storage space for new videos on the microSD card of your ContourGPS. With the

camera plugged in to your computer using the USB cable, navigate to the ContourGPS camera

located in My Computer (Finder on OS X). Open the DCIM folder, then the 100MEDIA folder.

Select and delete or move any unwanted files. MAC USERS: Don’t forget to empty the Trash

Bin once you have deleted your files – otherwise your discarded video files will remain on your

microSD card in a hidden folder and take up valuable storage space!

NEXT STEPS

We know that having awesome videos of your exploits is only half fun. What good are they if

you can’t share them? Fortunately, Contour has made that easy for you too. Our StoryTeller

application not only makes it easy to get your videos off the camera, it makes it easy to share

them with the world. Go to contour.com to learn more about posting your videos to our site.
