Please note that the timer is reset either when the battery is directly unplugged or when the battery is depleted. However, the settings can be retained during normal power on and off operations of the camera. In motion cameras, power interruptions can have different impacts on various functions. For instance, the timer, which is often used for functions like time lapse photography, may be more sensitive to power changes compared to general settings. When the battery is directly unplugged or runs out, the power supply to the timer circuit may be disrupted, causing it to reset.

If your camera resets its settings after the battery is removed, it is recommended that you connect an external power source to keep the camera charged. In motion cameras, the settings are usually stored in non volatile memory to some extent, but a sudden power loss due to battery removal may still cause data loss or resetting. An external power source can provide a stable power supply to prevent such issues.

If your camera still resets its settings without the battery being removed, this may indicate a firmware issue. In such a case, please contact the after sales department, which is able to fix this problem. Firmware in a motion camera plays a crucial role in controlling the device's operations. A firmware bug can lead to abnormal behavior such as unexpected settings resets.
