My video recordings do not look smooth

• If video recordings appear shaky, use the VIRB Edit
application or the Garmin VIRB mobile app to apply image
stabilization to the video.
• If video recordings stutter or skip frames, install a
recommended, high-speed memory card.
For more information about recommended memory cards, go
to garmin.com/VIRBcards.
• Verify your playback device or software is capable of playing
the video smoothly.
For example, if you are playing a 360-degree video, verify the
playback device or software is capable of playing 5K video
and 360-degree video. The VIRB Edit application is
recommended for video playback.
• Transfer the video to your computer or playback device.
Some memory card readers do not read data quickly enough
to play high-resolution video directly from the memory card.
• Use the VIRB Edit application to play and edit video.
Go to garmin.com/VIRBEdit to download the VIRB Edit
application.

If you turn on the device by moving the recording switch forward,
the device turns off when you move the recording switch
backward. This allows you to maximize battery life by turning off
the device when it is not recording (Turning the Camera On and

Extending the Battery Life

• Disable Wi‑Fi.
• Enable Auto-Off in the system settings (System Settings,

• Turn the device on and off using the recording switch
(Turning the Camera On and Off Using the Recording Switch,
