2 questions about the use of the Git2 camera.

[Drifter]

So far so good with the camera however i have 2 questions hopefully someone can answer.


1. I set the Menu Button Function to gyro so I can turn it on and off easily. However I cannot figure out how to use it. I assume the menu button is the button on the right side and when I press that, I get a menu or if I hold it, wifi comes up. At no time does the orange hand go away (gyro off). Let me know what I am doing wrong please.

2. the G-Sensor. Is that for car mode meaning when in car mode it will start to record with a certain level of vibration or does it record in any mode when g-sensor is enabled.


Thanks

I'm not sure on number one but for 2,g sensor will kick a file while recording to prevent it from being overwritten. It moves it to a separate folder on the SD card. The camera has to be recording for the g sensor to do anything. So yes, it's pretty much only for car use... "Proper" use of an action camera will set off the g sensor constantly if you're having lots of action, right?

For the #1 question, if you enabled the Gyro on via the menu button function option, you can short press the Wi-Fi/Menu button to quick enable/disable the Gyro while recording.
While there is no movement, the Gyro icon will becoming white.

The Gyro can be enabled via Menu button only when video is recording, I hope this will be included in updated manual. If you just want to turn On or Off the gyro using Menu button, just start a recording for few seconds. I can do this in one second, already.

About G-Sensor, @Gibson99 is right.

About this thread, the title is not nice because is not telling anything to anybody. Usually I am not reading these threads with generic titles like Help, Question, Problem but I saw @gitup was here.
I hope you can edit the title and give it a correct name, all this forum is about questions and answers.

enjoy,
