Is there anything we can do to the setting to reduce distortion?
Alternatively will using a image/videeo editing software help?

As jokiin says it's better to do it with editing software, here is one of my early tests:
It was done with Magix video editor, although vertical is ok, the horizontal distortion is still visible.

I have picked up the Sj6 at the post office and it went strait into my car windscreen for the drive home, the footage seem okay on the top of it with the stock firmware ( updated that when i got home )
I cant say the camera captured any plates, but the weather here is also as bleak it can be in the daytime without things falling from the sky.
I will be going to the jungle tomorrow for some indoor footage under fake sunshine conditions.

Have not been at my friends house to borrow selfie pole, he is sick again with flu like stuff for the second time in a month, so i stay well clear.

Its been 3 decades since i had the flu, if i get anything during those epidemics i might get a little runny nose and sore throat, but fever and lying in bed is decades ago.

There is no sun here before next Saturday and Sunday if i am lucky.

We will be updating firmware next week so please let us know your firmware suggestions / issues :)
 
We now have a SJ6 google doc for bug reports and feature request. We may also start a private forum here for discussion as well. Please pm me if interested.
 
A SJ6 thread in the private forum would be good.

Hello Everyone. I bought SJ6 and I did update the firmware 1.4.4 If someone can explain to me the resolutions that works Gyro and what it means in the description of firmware 1.4.3 "Modified Gyroscope Gyro is disabled when FOV is turned on" when there is no option anywhere FOV ON / OFF? For other camera Gyro works only on certain resolutions while the SJ6 at all resolutions available. (Sorry for bad English).
