Enable "Quick Capture" in the system menu and you'll need just one clic to record/shutdown.
Of course a deeper sleep mode would be useful, specially thinking about the "remote" which needs the camera to be ON all the time (emptying the battery quickly) But that's how all the remote works i believe...
Oh man, I'm an utterly noob! that's just perfect for me. Thank you very much mate
(I had my mind on the Car Auto-start feature, that I used some time carrying the Git2 as a dashcam in some car trips)
That option plus the rotation covers nearly 99% of what I want for a camera. This little thing is brilliant! . Thanks developers, really appreciate the time and effort is going here.
I have the RC but didn't managed to use it, seems to devour batteries when in storage, so the one that comes with it and a spare one I put later went gone in the drawer before having a chance to test in the road. Would be great to have it but working only with the camera on right now has little use without a powerbank (i'm living on Ireland right now, so the waterproof case is a must)
Just two little more suggestions:
- To include "Quick Capture" in the UICONFIG.BIN , being such an useful option
- If technically possible, that might be not, the chance to have a louder beep (may be preserving the actual and having a 3 way switch: off/soft/loud or something like that)
Wearing the camera on a helmet you have no way to see the screen or any of the leds directly, so the amount of beeps is a great indication to know when you have the camera started, the recording starting or ending, or the shutdown procedure. My previous Hero 3 was a bit louder and I miss that little difference.
