I was having problems with the G sensor on medium setting filling up the card via the Protected folder. I changed the setting to LOW hoping it would cure the problem or at least slow down filling up my card.
This morning before setting off on a short 10 minute journey the card was formatted so I had a empty card to start with, also I turned on the Announcement option, I was greeted with "Good Morning" from the camera. The 10 minute journey to my destination was uneventful and all 2 minute segments were in the Video Folder as expected.
On the return journey I got in the car and closed the door before ignition was switched on ( I don't have parking mode set ) once or twice on the journey home the camera announced "File Protected" any bumps I went over was hardly worth a mention, maybe the odd drain cover on the road. When I returned home to check files on PC the whole ten minute journey video files had recorded into the Protected Folder, not one part of the return journey ended up in the normal Video folder, from the moment I got into the car and drove home it was recording in Protected Mode. surely this cant be normal for the camera is it ? I've had to turn the G sensor off to stop it filling my card with uneeded files.
I've had this 512 GW since the end of August this year (bought at Halfords)and I'm not too impressed with the G sensor issue so far, Been having a couple of issues with video quality, blurry at time which I think could be sharper and playback jerky in Nextbase Player and VLC player, I have since found a old post from Tiffany on the forum stating "haven't experienced good results with Samsung cards " as it is a 64 gb Samsung Evo microsd xc1 I've been using maybe that is the quality problem, so to give Nextbase the benefit of the doubt I have just ordered a 64 gb transcend high endurance to see if that improves the video quality, it should arrive in a couple of days so I'll test it again.
