Hmm I had never run into this problem before this firmware and had shot tons of footage on one card , the same card intact. So we can only use 8gb? I think this needs to be solved because what seemed to work before now kinda make the camera unusable for me. I need to br able to keep shooting
i have run into a few issues where it wont save to card because it says there is not enough space but i checked the card and there was 100gigs of space, once removed sd card i could not get it to recognize again in the playback and settings menu with the refresh button, just had to loose the clip and reboot

Yeah, I've had the same issue with losing access to the SD card slot after an out of space error until I reboot. I think the SD drive fails to be properly unmounted so inserting a new SD card won't work because the mountpoint is 'busy'. The USB ports don't seem to have this problem - if you use an SD card reader in the USB port you may have better luck.
hmm im not saving raw just h264

I think the out of space error is happening because (a) the software can't seem to write past the first 8 gb of a fat32 partition and (b) fat32 has a 4gb file size limit - you can hit that easily when saving RAW. I found a temporary workaround to be to format your drive for Linux ie. ext3.  You just have to install some 3rd party software on mac/windows to read the files off. Another way around might be to partition to the drive into lots of 8gb fat32 segments, which would probably give faster saving, although you'll still get hit with the 4gb file size limit and it'll be a pain to use.  Devs can correct this if I am mistaken.

Software Dev / WB kelvin temp selection feature request
« on: December 21, 2017, 06:13:08 PM »
I would like to set WB by Selecting a kelvin temperature say 5,500kelvin for daylight,
there are alot of times for me where its impractical to get a custom WB with a card, like long telephoto lenses and fisheye lenses.

i am on the new firmware and the automaticly record and auto save after trigger are working!  stoked

Feature request, is there a way to set WB with Kelvin temperature rather than hitting a WB button with it facing at a white card
i would love to set it at 5,500 kelvin, there are so manny times that i shoot where i cant get a WB card to work, i shoot on very telephoto lenses 300mm and 800mm and its not practical to find something white 50 yards away, also the similar problem with my fisheye lens hard to get a WB

question does it save black balance settings across reboots?

jog wheel for exposure  shutter speed changes during standby, or even while recording

The next version is being worked on right now. Features in this coming version are:
  • Remembering settings across reboots (most common request!)
  • Fix for a potential cold-temperature RAM issue (seen as horizontal bands of colored pixels)
  • Autonomous operation with automatic save-after-trigger and automatic recording start after save
  • Maybe HDMI

If HDMI doesn't get into this release, it will be in the next.

Ethernet will be coming in a subsequent update, it's a big project, the entire low-level camera control needs to be broken out of the user application and made to work over network.

Also, the open source release is imminent, finally have a working build environment that doesn't have any of the NDA code in it! Hopefully within the week.

Any update on a timeframe for this update?
just wondering because the new features will effect how i have my waterhousing controls made.
so exited!
thanks David

Autonomous operation with automatic save-after-trigger and automatic recording start after save
Thank you thank you! yeah! this is going to be so epic

would be awesome to change shutter with the jog dial for exposure

hdmi will be cool too!

lens is awesome, doent fully covver the sensor but is crazy wide and just needs a little bit of cropping to get the corners
waiting for new firmware with waterhousing record and save functions then finishing the housing stoked

I finally have a way to quickly aim and follow targets using a $40 Amazon gun sight, now I just need to find a way to quickly pull focus.

All the clips were shot with a 400mm lens (effective 1560mm) at ~f8-f11 and 6db gain on the camera.
