    SJ4000 sharpness settings inverted?

    check out this video: I tested it myself and it's true. With sharpness=STRONG the image doesn't have that white line between colors, and with sharpness=SOFT the white line is the most visible. so apparently the SJCAM manufacturer mislabeled sharpness settings and actually STRONG means no...

    Image Size - What Does It Really Mean

    On my SJ4000 Wi-Fi there are menu selections for Image Size of 640 x 480 up to 4032 x 3024. In another thread I've already posted information about interpolation and I think I understand that pretty well, but then again . . . I did an experiment where I took a photo of the same scene at each...

    ISO and Exposure - What Do They Really Mean?

    The SJ4000 Wi-Fi has menu settings for ISO and Exposure but what do these really mean? I know that ISO has to do with sensitivity to light - the higher the ISO the greater the sensitivity. But when you change the setting, what's happening inside the camera to make this change come about? The...

    Quality and Sharpness - What Do They Mean?

    On an SJ4000 Wi-Fi there are menu settings for Quality and Sharpness, but what do these terms really mean? Do they apply to recording videos and taking photos? What does the image processor do when these settings are changed? In the world of full-featured digital cameras or camcorders would...

    Range of Motion Detection - SJ4000 Wi-Fi

    On three of three cameras that I checked, the range of Motion Detection was only about 5cm (2 inches). In an e-mail from the manufacturer (see below) they claim a range of 10 meters (about 33 feet). I wonder what range other Dash Cam Talk members have gotten with their cameras. Has anyone...

    Updating the Dash Cam Talk Web Page for the SJ4000

    Is this the right forum to ask about the Dash Cam Talk web page for the SJ4000? https://dashcamtalk.com/sj4000/ Currently the web page list of firmware updates is out-of-date and it makes the following statement which I thought was no longer true: "VIOFO is Hongfeng ‘s partner for marketing...

    The Effects of Changing Exposure Settings - SJ4000 Wi-Fi

    I decided to check how varying the exposure setting while holding other settings constant would affect the appearance of photographs of the same scene. I took pictures of my "junk room" (I apologize for the embarrassing mess.) with the camera set at Quality Normal, Sharpness Strong, White...

    Image Stabilizer - Photo, Video or Both

    I've been perplexed by the question of whether the image stabilizer for the SJ4000 Wi-Fi works in record mode, camera mode or both. According to an e-mail from support@sjcamhd.com, it works only when recording videos. Most website and video reviews of the camera that address the question say...
