I've noticed that there's a huge number of .tmp files in the EVENT folder. I put in a 64gb card and formatted it, let it record for a minute, then checked it in my PC. it had 202 (yes, two hundred and two) 60 megabyte files in the event folder, all named .AAAAAAAAAAAAA####.tmp, numbered sequentially starting with 0000 and ending with 0201. they all have the same time/date (the time i formatted the card in the camera), and all are exactly the same size - 62,914,560 bytes. that's 12 gigs of space used up and only about 30 seconds of actual video recorded (in the normal folder). What the heck?
The 32gb card i was using before has them as well but there weren't as many - only 100 files x 60mb = 6gb. Anyone know why these are here, chewing up space?
At first I thought maybe it was reserving space for the emergency files, since the 32gb card has 25 actual event files and 75 tmp files (and the tmp files start counting at 0025 and go up to 0099), but the 32gb card still has 3gb free space, even after driving over 2000 miles on a road trip without deleting anything. the 64 hasn't been filled yet since i just put it in yesterday but i expect it will have 3-6gb free space too.
any ideas?
