F500LHD
Hi All,
I just purchased an F500LHD from Estore009 based on seller's assurance it is not a fake and the recommendation from this site. Best I can tell its original and has firmware v6.9 t2l-kh. Looks good/happy... That said, can someone please help me with the settings/suggestions?
If things seem to work ok isn't it better not to update firmware. Not sure what benefit I'll get if I upgrade and there is a downside if I mess up. Thoughts...
Optimal Settings (Thanks DashTalk)
For Recording Cycle:
DURATION – OFF (mine has no or time settings so I chose NO)
RECYCLE Clip length:1/5/10/15 minutes. (What is the best setting?) I believe 1 0r 5 min are best?
MOTION DET – OFF,
AUTO OFF – OFF
To improve the legibility of small details:
SHARPNESS – HARD
CONTRAST – STANDARD
To display the date and time on video: STAMP – YES
To improve the quality of night shooting: SCENE – AUTO and EV -0,3. -1.0
To enable and automatically start recording when an external power supply: USB IN = YES.
To automatically turn off when disconnecting the external power supply: SHUTDOWN – choose from: 10s , 5 min, 15 min (10 seconds is recommended.)
To improve the overall picture and its easy clarification: LIGHT FREQ = 60 hertz
Any other suggestions for settings.
One more thing please... I would like to buy a device to protect my battery. What do you think about this or do you have any recommendations? Typically battery drain wont be a problem except when I leave my car at the airport or similar, but would feel better for a $35 investment. Thoughts?
BlackVue Car Black Box Power Magic $35. It says for DR400, but I understand it will work with F500? True?
