Is it possible to add a higher bitrate option to the next firmware release? Even at the highest setting (35mbps) there is still a lot of blocking and artifacts at 1080/60 outdoors. Thanks!

Maybe we can still try high bitrate, it depend the chipset can handle the higher bitrate or not.
 
i think i heard them say in the past that the gopro form factor is a real limitation since you can't fit a bigger battery, you're limited in optics, and heat can be an issue, especially at higher resolutions, framerates and bitrates. so they may be creating their own new form factor for the next one. no clue what that will be though - flat mobius/x-cam style, M10/session/cube style (doubt it), or... ???
 
Hello everyone. It would be nice that through an upgrade could raise the value of the shutter speed since to date only allows you to record a 1 / 248seg. I say this because as you know the ISO does not work, does not work if you leave the shutter speed automatic, and with the aim of recording with a low ISO (50) to minimize the noise that this camera gets into the picture, it would be Interestingly could record with the highest shutter speed.
Anyone know about it about it?

I guess you want to avoid overexposure in photo mode due to slow shutter speeds. I believe that in the future there will be a wider set of shutter speeds available to have a better photography experience in manual mode.

The comment I made was referred to the video mode.

AFAIK, shutter speed is related to fps (2x). So to get the exposure you'll need a diaphragm with lower f-stops....and the Git2 hasn't. Or record with unsynced shutter.

To use the ISO 50 manual setting in daylight currently requires a Neutral Density filter to reduce the amount of light entering the lens.

If faster shutter speeds were available then the ND filter would not be necessary, it seems like a reasonable request to me.

However a ND filter will probably give a better result since it will give you motion blur to smooth the movement between frames, the video should look smoother.

I don't actually think it is necessary to set ISO 50 for daylight use since the auto exposure will nearly always be using 50 or close to it anyway, so you will not see any improvement. I don't think the auto exposure ever goes above 400 until it is properly dark and I can't see much loss in quality between ISO 50 and ISO400.
 
Is it possible to have a mode that doesn't drop 1080p60 to 30 fps or lower to compensate? Can it boost ISO instead?

It's a bit distracting to see the framerate drop while going through a dark tunnel.

A 1080p60 night mode that prioritizes constant 60fps would be nice as well!

I don't know if I understand correctly (this forum is an English class to me), but I have a question about it and I think we have talked about this somewere, but I can't find it now (sorry for that).

With ISO auto, in photo mode (mettering cent.), the shutter speed looks very constant and accurate.

But... These shutter values are far from what can be done manually.

And the same seems to happen in video mode.

Course this is not a problem to me, it's rather a question about it would be possible to get manually type values like in auto mode: 1/3000, 1/4000...

Yes, Gitup could add a lot more shutter speed options.

I think the only reason they don't is that if there were 30 different options then it would take a long time to select the correct one, and because there is no "back" button on the Git2, if you go 1 option too far then you would have to go through another 29 to get back to where you want to be. There are already enough options to make it a big menu.

In your image, we can see that it has used ISO 50 for every photo. ISO 50 should give the best quality so why would you want to manually set it to something different? If there is no reason then it is more important to keep the menu reasonably short so that it is easy to use.

The only time you want to use big ISO values is when there is not enough light for ISO 50, and then you will always want to use slow shutter speeds to keep the ISO value low for good quality, so there is no need to have the very fast shutter speeds in the menu. The reason to use a manual ISO value is normally to force the camera to use a low ISO in dark conditions to get better quality, but you also need to put the camera on a tripod to avoid the motion blur that using low ISO in the dark will cause. Sometimes you might want to force a higher ISO to get a faster shutter speed if you know something is moving fast and you don't mind loosing some quality to reduce the motion blur, but you will want fairly low shutter speeds for that situation.

Yes. I have not thought of that, but it's true, to have more options could be chaotic.

Under good lighting conditions automatic mode works really fine. And not only under direct sunlight, any cloudy or even rainy (not too dark) day, it works very well.

For everything else, there are right values of manual shutter, EV, ISO that works excellent too.

We have added more fast shutter speed options for some special firmware.

Now everyone will want this Git2 special firmware to get all the special features 😀
 
would it be possible to add some early warning to the git2 if the battery is almost finished? having it beep at you as well as led flashing would be helpful. there has been a few times where i have it mounted (on my helmet or gopole) and i miss footage due to my git2 powering down.

thanks!

This is also a suggestion from other users, but it is hard for the camera to know the battery is almost finished.
 
Also many people will not want a loud beeping to be recorded on their video when there is still 5 minutes of useful record time left and the people who do want this feature are probably not watching the screen, otherwise they would see the red battery symbol.

Maybe the wifi app could give a beep warning when the battery turns red.

It definitely could be toggle, considering how some people discard the audio (and replace with soundtrack) while others will make use of it. Not to be a cynic, but I'm not sure if an enhancement request for the wifi app makes much sense right now... ya know, since it doesnt exist heh.

people should be more educated on how to use shutter speed in video mode. You can t keep playing around with shutter speed as it will add bad special effect to the video and they will complain about the picture quality.
You whant
the same shutter speed as the fps for a dreamying effect
double shutter speed than the fps for a more natural look
triple shutter speed than the fps for special effect (stroboscopic video)

if you keep adding more shutter speed in the idea to reduce the ligth comming in , you do it wrong!!!

shutter speed in video mode is only use to get the video effect you like and for 95% it is at double the fps. This is not like in picture triangle of exposition even there is no triangle of exposition in video mode.

a good cinema camera can play with 2 options to reduce the ligth without affecting the video
film sensitivity or ISO
and neutral density filter add on

there is other way also to reduce the light but they all play with your image quality or perspective
aperture, but it will play with your depth of field(this one is fix in the gitup camera)
shutter speed but you can t really play with it . IT should alway stay at doule the fps. slower more ligth , faster less ligth
and the FPS , more FPS with the good shutter speed, reduce the ligth exposure. ( usualy , 24 fps for film look, 30 fps for more natural look and 60 fps for doing slow motion or fast panning or fast action .

I don't think so, that "constant" speed is because you are talking about a timelapse sequence where the exposure is fixed for all the frames. 😉

POV is fixed. But exposure values are not constant, they depends on light.
