4. Powering on and off
•Press and hold POWER/▼ for two seconds to turn the Swift 2
on and off.
5. Adjusting the IR, Exposure and Backlight levels
•The Swift 2 allows quick adjustment of the:
oInfrared (IR): A higher number means a brighter LED, and
therefore a better viewing range – but keeping the
number lower improves battery life (see section 6).
Note: when set to “IR:OFF”, the Swift 2 can be used in
daylight, while the Swift 2 Pro can also record daylit
footage. This is different to "IR:0", the setting named
"Lunarsight" (see section 6). Additional levels range from
1 to 5.
oExposure: This adjusts the sensitivity of the lens. A
higher value is better for dark environments. Levels
range from -2 to 3.
oBacklight: This adjusts the brightness of the LCD screen.
Levels range from 1 to 5.
•At the bottom of the LCD screen, the ▼ icon and red text
indicate which feature is currently selected:
•Press POWER/▼ to switch between adjusting Infrared,
Exposure and Backlight levels:

•When a feature is selected, use ↑ and ↓ to adjust the value.
6. Important tips for using the infrared LEDs
•The Swift 2 has two infrared (IR) LEDs: a 940nm wavelength
for stealth, and an 850nm wavelength for range.
•All IR LEDs produce a red glow, visible to the human eye.
940nm LED produces less glow than 850nm LED, but 850nm
provides a longer viewing range than 940nm.
•The Swift 2’s default factory setting uses 940nm for IR levels
1-3, and 850nm for IR levels 4-5. However, you can switch to
using exclusively 940nm or 850nm in the SETTINGS mode (see
section 9).
•Important: other night vision devices can detect the
infrared light emitted by the Swift 2.
•In dark environments with some ambient light, use the
“Lunarsight” setting (IR:0) to use no infrared LED at all.
•Reducing usage of the infrared LEDs saves battery.
7. VIDEO mode (Swift 2 Pro only)
•There are two Nightfox Swift 2 models: the Swift 2 and the
Swift 2 Pro. While in VIDEO mode, the Swift 2 Pro can record
video footage onto the unit’s memory card.
•VIDEO mode is the default mode when you turn on the Swift 2
Pro.

•Press REC/MENU again to finish recording. The video will

•You can watch footage recorded on the Swift 2 Pro in
