Just got this dash cam and on my first ride (into work on an overcast day) I noticed the sky and various items would get colored various rainbow colors (sky was all pinkish-purple, later changed to green - signs/boxes took on the same color as well)
I was not sure if this is a result of the dynamic range or I got a busted camera? Any ideals/thoughts?

Recording on 1080 with stock settings. Original firmware (1.0?). I got this model


Additional thought, because my car has the textured window around the rear view mirror I have to suction cup this in front and that doesnt fit well with my sun-shade. Any workarounds for this? My only thought it to tape over the texture to get a flat surface

That does not sound normal. You may want to consider exchanging it. I have 2 'Black Box' brand G1W-H cams and neither one displays those symptoms.

Consider either an adhesive mount or a rear view mirror mount. Google search should come up with a bunch of purchase options.

Pictures would be nice to assess the issue better but even without them that sounds like a power source problem or some kind of power supply interference. There's a thread here in the forum of someone with a similar problem and he reported that if he connects the camera to a different power source outside of the car, that problem doesn't occur.
