How to Use the Xiaomi Yi Camera - English Instructions

How to use the Xiaomi Yi action camera. The Xiaomi Yi is a popular alternative to the more expensive GoPro line However, it comes only with instructions in Chinese. For those that speak English, here's a quick start tutorial that will show you how to use the basic functions of the camera. We show how to take pictures, take video, and use the mobile app to change settings and do more advanced video capture and photographs.

Thank you.
I received this camera from a friend and had it sitting for a few months. I was wondering how to use it. While watching your video, I downloaded the app, got it connected to the app and now I'm all set to start shooting some videos.
Thank you for the very informative video, it helped me a lot.

Really useful to get me started on the YI. Better than taking a crash course in Chinese! Thanks.

Thanks Bernardo - I had been using it with the app, but now I know what the different lights mean!

Hello, I've just downloaded the app on my phone, but when I connect the camera in live view and I go to "Settings", it doesn't show all of those options, I can't actually even change the resolution. Do you know why that could be?

[harrislongvisualarts]

Elusive answer evades me! I need and want to plug in camera to PC to DL Videos and photos WITHOUT removing card. Computer does not recognize the camera when plugged in????

Would somebody please help me? Wifi doesn't work no matter what I do. If I switch the camera on and press the wifi button it lights up but doesn't flash. I've reset the cam several times, did a software update, no success. I cannot connect the cam to the phone. Actually it records if I press the shutter button, but I'd like to get in to settings menu somehow. Thank you for help.
