hello everyone when will the new firmware be released who knows
Those who understand how HDR works will understand this but there are quite a few people whose degree of understanding HDR is insufficient and they call for it to be done then blame someone else when it doesn't happen. Yet they want you to believe that they are knowledgeable and wise anyway...HDR can not work with 60FPS because the HDR at 30FPS is already containing 60FPS.
HDR at 60 FPS needs the camera to be capable to record at 120FPS.
It looks like that Viofo did not understand how HDR works, because Viofo allowed users to select HDR under 60fps. Viofo should have listened to some knowledgeable people here.Those who understand how HDR works will understand this but there are quite a few people whose degree of understanding HDR is insufficient and they call for it to be done then blame someone else when it doesn't happen.

Hope you don't mind the correction but the camera shoots two 30 fps images simultaneously not consecutively using the cam's 60 fps capability. It then superimposes them together into a single 30 fps frame as you've pointed out.HDR basically captures two frames taken consecutively at different settings then combines them into one frame at half the speed.
I think that was discussed when that thread came along long ago, but I can't recall there being any certain answers. Hard to imagine anything else happening with that one.You know, I wonder if the HDR flaw in the V3 is shooting two consecutive frames instead of simultaneous frames and whether that might actually be the problem? That's what it really looks like in the images.
The latest fw from Viofo disables A119V3 HDR under 60fps (2x 30fps) and only allows HDR under 30fps (2x 15fps?). In case their HDR is shooting consecutively instead of simultaneously, their HDR itself should be not be there at the first place. I remember you mentioned here before that HDR is only very good for still images.You know, I wonder if the HDR flaw in the V3 is shooting two consecutive frames instead of simultaneous frames and whether that might actually be the problem?

I do remember the person who got that pic needed the plate number but couldn't get it He'd trusted the setting would work without actually checking it in every condition as we must do. It's not enough to believe what a menu says, always verify and know

Under Viofo's fw 2.3, if I turn on HDR, all the 60fps selections are gone in Resolution. Only 30fps is available. With HDR turned off, the 60fps selections show up. If I select 1440p 60fps first and then turn on HDR, it changes from 60fps to 30fps automatically. The LCD shows 1440p 30fps. The video files show as 30fps on a computer.I doubt that the camera is shooting 15 fps HDR. More likely this change was done to avoid confusion regarding whether HDR is shooting HDR @ 60 fps. I think the camera is most likely still shooting the same HDR with two simultaneous 30 fps frames but simply no longer allows you to set HDR with 60 fps selected. Setting the camera to HDR should automatically shoot two 30 fps images together just like it always has.
I have yet to try the new firmware so I don't know for sure what the new version is doing but it will be easy enough for anyone to check the frame rate when shooting HDR with V2.3.
