According to @viofo here and here, the ermergency lock on the A119, when operating in 1080p 60fps mode, will "duplicate a 35s file, 15s before and 20s after the press" and when in 1440p 30fps mode, it duplicates the entire video file, regardless of where you are in it. I don't like the idea that I could miss the incident if the camera happens to have just moved to a new file when I push the button, so I tested the operation on the A119S on 1080p 60fps and it duplicates the entire file, not a portion before and after. Same thing happens when the g-sensor is tripped.
Is there going to be an update to have the emergency lock operate in the manner that the A119 (allegedly) does at 1080p 60fps (I don't have a A119 to confirm)? Or perhaps provide an option to choose what mode we want? On that point, I'd prefer more time before the press than after. If I had to work with 20 and 15 second increments, I'd rather the 20 be before the push and the 15 be after as I am generally pushing the button after something happens, not before. Even 30/30 would be fine - I just don't want to lose something from it not recording far enough back or not protecting the actual incident because it was on the previous file.
Any thoughts/preferences from others?
