0801 Time keeps changing randomly

[johntee]

Hi,

I've just updated my 0801 to Firmware "20140519" with the help of Tobi@s and the problems I had previously with the 0801 turning off have now been resolved. This new Firmware version are in German & English languages which are selectable.

However, since that update I'm having trouble getting my 0801 to retain the time which I put in the device via the 'Menu'. It changes the hour time randomly + the 'am' to 'pm' changes randomly too. The peculiar thing is the 'Date Stamp' always remains correct and places that info onto the video file, it's the hourly time that changes. I've tried setting everything to back to default settings via the Menu feature, but that makes no difference.

Can any member suggest a cause and hopefully a remedy.

Cheers,

John

Have you set the correct time zone?

timezone is to the far left of the time settings, easy to miss

Hi Tobi@s,

Wow, you've hit me in the lower regions with that one. Where exactly is that located within the menu??

I thought I'd read the pdf manual thoroughly, obviously I need new glasses or a rear end boot.

Cheers,

John

Hi jokiin,

I'll take a look with my magnifier glass, is the GMT time zone set to a "Zero" or similar,

Thanks for your reply and advice,

the default will probably vary according to which version it was and which market it was originally intended for, the generic ones are quite often set to +8 as that's the home timezone in Shenzhen where the developers are from

for UK you're wanting 0, or +1 if it's summertime if you're in an area that supports DST offsets

Hi jokiin,

Thanks again, I found the tiny little 'time zone', very easy to miss as you said. I've set it to "0" for the UK so everything should run smoothly now.

You may appreciate why I had to give up my job as a brain surgeon 🙂 🙂

Cheers,

John
