You can't unwind the camera while it's in the softpack. There are connections and strings in the way of the piece your cable winds up to, which makes it a pain in the ass to unravel. I charged it inside, until full charge. First time I put it down a hole and the screen goes blue. This is because the connection was easily pulling out, it was a pain to put back in and appears to be cheaply made. Also the unit powered off three times on its own while showing full charge. Couldn't get it to power back on. All it made me was upset. Invest in something else. I bought this for the portability, but I'd rather have one of the larger units.
