Just some info:
Naofumi knew the orb recorded and displayed video. He saw and heard that from the King himself.
Naofumi knew the soldiers had an orb. His POV on that episode zoomed in on the soldiers and centered on the orb itself. It was literally in the center of the screen when he felt something was wrong. If the orb wasn't there, it would just be soldiers lined up, giving him no reason to suspect anything. Therefore, it is most reasonable to believe the orb was the trigger and that he knew it was there.
There is no evidence showing that the orb can transmit video.

Just putting that out there because events that actually happened in the episodes might have gotten muddled up in the discussion.

EDIT:
Before anyone says I can only say these things in retrospect, I was literally screaming at the screen, saying "Capture those soldiers and get the orb!" many times while those soldiers started to flee in that scene. The letting enemies go and having it to bite your ass hard later is just that common (and stupid) a trope. Naofumi, an otaku who likes to read, should know that too.

The orb stuff is extremely inconsistent and no-one can grasp what it can and what it can't do from just watching the anime.

There was for example also no evidence that it actually works like a video camera, because no one with an orb was present during the fight against the Souleater on that ship. So you'd think it allows the user to use clairvoyance - though I don't doubt it can be used to record and save scenes/images.
At the same time, he was summoned to the castle right after the whole thing, which would imply that information can be transmitted somehow.
In an earlier episode, they said the crystal ball can be used to gain skills.

Also, for the false footage to spread fast enough, there must be some way to transmit it to multiple locations at once. Otherwise bringing the orb back to base, alter it, bring it to the townspeople, to another town, to another town, to another town before Naofumi can would be impossible.

I don't understand how you seem to think my only complaint about the episode is that, when I said in my initial post:

I never said I do, just saying you seem to have picked one of the lesser "evils" - if it can even be called such. There are much more boorish and stupid ones imo.


Btw. I realised another reason why I like Filo so much, she reminds me a hell lot of Illaysviel.
