I have again downloaded the latest FW from the Viofo site, 2.61 I think it was.
Reset, formatted, returned to default settings, changed settings to my needs. took a short video of my desk and downloaded Media Info. This is the resulting report on the video, I am not using Audio so didn't bother with that part.

I guess that's put it back to normal with a 23.8 bit rate. Is there a way of improving clarity without cooking the camera?
