So since the original ones were shipped, there's been a firmware change. The original file was for an upgrade from the OLDER firmware, but it's only an upgrade, not the full set. So a patch was applied to the wrong base and thus the result is also wrong.

He used the wrong update.

I come from a photography background. The easiest analogy is taking a picture of a person at sunset (with the sun in the background). Unless exposed properly the person will be in shadow or the sky will be overexposed. At twilight you have the same problem where there is a large difference in...

It's due to too much SKY being in the video frame. Think of it this way, you have a very bright sky, but a very dark foreground. The way the auto EV works is probably looking at the average brightness of the video frame. So if you have more of the foreground (the road) you will probably have...

While I don't use Vegas, I use a similar program, Adobe Premiere (Elements) to edit them. I ran into the same problem where the audio came in fine, but the video content was "scrambled". However, I found that re-encoding the original video files into h.264 via Handbrake (at a very high quality...

For the FJ camera mount, I just received these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcMini-Car-Das ... 5af0a53324 They will do about 85/80 degrees (probably more if you shave some plastic down). The nice thing is that they are quick detach as well. The sticky/flast part stays on the windshield, but the...

Did clearing the microSD card (or formatting) help?

Try removing those (or just clear the card). Once the firmware is loaded into the device it doesn't need it anymore. Note that I don't know that this is the problem, but just something to try.

Not here, but I've only been using it in ~25 minute stretches with lots of on/off. By chance did you remove the firmware file from the SD card? I know I did on mine.

Same here, the firmware fixed my audio issue. Realistically, at this price point, I have no major complaints. Are there things that can be improved (color smearing, low light lens flares, audio fidelity)? Sure. But for me, this now functions acceptably as a Car DVR, and even better for the price...

I've been playing with the camera some more. And I still really like it. But I found something that I should have realized, but still caught me by surprise. The camera is advertised as a 1080p 30fps recording. But it also has 720p @ 30fps and 60fps. So today I decided to try out the 60fps. My...

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. Already disproved that theory. First, mine is the suction cup. Second, I just did a test by holding it in my hand with no improvement.

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. I did some more testing. 1. One of the questions was addressing that the microphone may be moving inside the chassis. With the windshield vibrating, it could be adding to the sound in a bad way. So, while it was running and there...

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. Tried this in two different power ports with the USB adapters. No effect on the sound amplification (same as supplied adapter).

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. I'll try to do this on the drive home tonight. I have a couple of Kensington "PowerBolt" USB adapters. I doubt this will change anything, but we could at least eliminated that as a problem.

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. I also purchased mine through the eBay vendor powerdigital898. I contacted them via e-mail (reply address from my order confirmation e-mail) and did receive a response asking for more info. I shared a link to this forum thread, my...

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. Here's a clip that is a direct upload. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQtQClsTKt8 WARNING, you'll want to turn your speakers down. If you want to skip the part with the music, go to 2:35 to hear just road noise.

UPDATE 4/19/2013: Updated firmware alleviated the audio issue. I also just received my DR32 camera. Some experiences so far: - I also have the audio over gain issue. Once I opened the video file in an editor, the audio is way too loud and clipping badly. The YouTube videos I've posted are with...
