Just got my 0806 and happy for the most part. Just trying to get it optimized and have a few queries.
I find the exposure is benefiting the sky more than the road etc. I would call the image balance 45% sky 55% road\dash. Exposure is set to the default Center. Is this optimum? Should I tilt down a notch or change the exposure metering type? Note: I have a CPL and find the night time a tad dark but don't want to keep taking CPL on & off. When driving towards the sun the image is washed out & lacking colour so I am reluctant to increase the exposure compensation.
I tested the video lock 'SOS Manual Protect Video" today on a road trip by pressing the down button. The file was duly protected. However the issue is that the whole leg of the trip was protected. I thought it would just protect the current loop segment (3 minute default currently). My concern with the whole trip leg being protected is if the trip goes beyond the storage limit - what happens then? What happens if I try to protect the file multiple times during different legs of a trip? Also if the screen is off do I need to press the down button twice to get it to lock the file? i.e. 1st time to turn screen on and then 2nd time to actually lock\protect?
