Hi all,

I've had my camera for 2 weeks, for a week it worked great. Now I'm getting a couple of issues:

* Flickering LCD screen

- I understand this is due to faulty GPS module, so I will power via camera, and request a replacement GPS module from the vendor.

* MEMORY ERROR

- This flashes up after about 15 seconds of recording with a flashing REC button. This was a brand new class 10 Samsung 16GB SDHC Micro USB card. I've formatted again in the camera to no avail. I will try a spare Kingstone SDHC 16GB Class 10 to see if this rectifies the problem. Has anyone heard of such issue?

Hmm, sorry, I can't seem to resize this image! Bear with me.
 
Powering through the camera might fix the LCD flicker AND the Memory Error issue. Try and see if it helps.

Thanks, I had only just read about the side powering as I posted, so I will try that tomorrow.

Failing that, I think I will return the full unit, whilst impressed with the form factor, the GPS module is a let down due to the poor fit, and the requirement for a CPL extra for the camera glare I suffer from makes me think I'm best of waiting for the new version of this camera.

I see this has the spring GPS contacts, with foam pad to stop the wobble, and the lense issues may be fixed also!

Newer V2 model won't change whether you need a CPL or not. If you think you'll need one with your current A119, then you'll need one with the V2 A119
