The process to change the language on your SR12 video camera may vary, depending on the model and the version of its firmware. However, here are some general steps that you can try:


Check the settings menu: On your camera, navigate to the "Settings" or "System" menu and look for an option labeled "Language." Select the English option and save the changes.


Restart the camera: Sometimes restarting the camera can help resolve language issues. Turn off the camera, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. Check if the English language option is now available.


If none of these steps work, you may need to update the firmware on your camera. You can find firmware updates on the manufacturer's website or by contacting their customer support.


I hope these steps help you change the language on your SR12 video camera to English.
