@Gibson99, you must have gotten a pre pre-production sample......my cameras buttons don't have that finish at all. Mine look perfectly fine, nice finish.
Power button turns screen on and off, which I think is a nice feature since any of the other buttons only wake the screen and then if you want to turn it off you can hit the power button. I'm happy with the way it is.
I just had a chance to review some samples with the new ( 160426) FW. For me the blue problem is gone, I believe the colors are very realistic now. The night quality is good but for some reason my hot pixel problem has returned, will see about that later.
As to the FORMAT warning, I just took the card out and with an adapter plugged in to my computer to review the files. When I re-installed it into the camera I do get the FORMAT warning, but it gives me the option to format or cancel. I can cancel and record normally, however the next time power is removed and re installed the warning comes again if you have not formatted the card. As jokiin mentions I also think this is a good idea and I'm happy with that feature.
I'm happy with the audio volume as well, conversations with my wife were very easily heard and were clear. If you review a previous sample I posted you can hear a parking lot attendant blowing a whistle outside while the car windows are closed, but if incorporating a user adjustable level is doable then I'm all for that.
@viofo, I know I complained before that the motion detect was not sensitive enough, but now it is too sensitive, it continues to record just about all night while the car sits in the driveway at home.
At this point, at least for my sample, the only issue I have now is the hot pixel at night issue, which is a calibration fix, and the motion sensitivity, but other than that I'm pretty happy with all the other features, functions.
Thanks for the quick FW updates Viofo.
