Intermittent issues

[HaydenP]

Hi everyone... had my F770 installed in my 2017 Mustang for a few weeks now. The other day, the unit would not turn on... it was quite a hot day... after I inserted a pin into reset hole, it booted up. Then this morning as I drove out of garage, it kept saying memory card error... I pressed reset - nothing, kept saying it... ejected card and re-inserted - nothing, kept saying it... then after 15mins, said - continuous recording started. Are these normal gremlins ? No point having an expensive dashcam, if it isn't going to turn on when I get in car. (it is hard wired - done at a local Autobarn). Just checked it this afternoon - car is out in the sun and hot - no issue. Frustrating.

Format the card and see how it goes

I just did that now... and I will see how it goes over next few days.

Yes, format is the first thing to try. What card did you get with your camera and do you have other cards handy? The F770 is a picky little bugger. I have found that mine does not like new cards being formatted in the camera first time around.. I have to format them in the computer first and then I am able to use the camera to format. It is also picky about what brand and model cards are used.
