mini FAQ

Adjust lens focus

1. DownloadTo adjust the focus.rar(1.94 MB)

2. Print a picture from the archive in maximum quality.
3. Place the printed picture 5 meters away and take a photo, only in the daytime with good lighting (it’s better to mount the camera on a tripod, to fix it, etc., so that the lens does not move during torsion). Twist the lens to the left for a half millimeter and take a photo, then a half millimeter to the right of the initial position of the lens and take a photo again.
4. Download photos from the camera on your PC, view, choose the option where the vagueness of the rays in the center is minimal. Those. the figure (blurred spot) in the center should be of a minimum size. You will get something like this in the photo:

If the lines on the photo are very blurred, then we repeat point 3, only now we twist the lens by 1mm.

Is there a DVR mode

DVR mode is not, that is, the camera does not turn on when power is applied. BUT there is a flipping of the image and a date and time stamp.

Color modes

Vivid - high contrast and saturation, in the afternoon it is easy to get overexposure, you need to adjust EV. Natural - average saturation is closer to reality, overexposures are unlikely. F-Log - very low contrast and saturation, is used for further post-production, in the evening there is very strong noise in the shadows.

How to flash a camera

1. Unzip files;
   
2. Rename the firmware file to firmware.bin (for modified firmware);
   
3. Copy the files firmware.bin and force_fw.txt to the root of the map(as on the screenshot below);
   
4. The camera should see the new version, confirm the update;
   
5. Wait for the update to complete; it takes about 1 minute;
   
6. Format the card through the camera and reset the camera settings.

P.S. Small clarification. Since v 0.6.16.02, it is not the version number that is checked, but FIMI membership. Previously, force_fw made it possible to flash anything at all. You can roll back c v0.6.16.02 with SD. Copy 06.14.02 and rollback.txt. After you can flash the mod. rollback.txt and force_fw.txt are just empty text files.

1. DVR mode is selected.



I do not have such a regime. All settings perelezil. There's no such thing.

[ondorim]

Pustota86Rubber case can be bought separately. And the protection of the lens and the film on the screen. There is a kit on gb.

[Pustota86]

ondorimYes, that's right, there is, but the delivery is long. And I got the camera in my hands a few days before the holidays

[Borisovich500]

Pustota86,
It was necessary at least for a penny just to buy a collar with a puff to the camera in the sport store ..

[isch]

The above described problem!
I repeat, sometimes when you turn on the camera in the NTSC standard, it darkens the picture very much in comparison with PAL, you immediately reboot, everything is fine! Has anyone encountered or noticed this bug?
Brick wall in daylight! When rebooted, the brick wall became of the same brightness as 120fps and 100fps!

Maybe because of this glitch in the stock firmware removed 120fps and 240fps in NTSC mode, because Only in them is this bug more pronounced than at 30fps and 60fps ?!

Verified Cards:
Sandisk Extreme U3

Strange. I thought the Sony HDR-1000 was demanding on the cards. Bought specifically for herKingston SDCA3 / 64GBWith a write speed of 80 MB, everything worked fine, but on the 4K MIDI, it gives an error on Flog. Even sometimes not on Flog. Wherein64GB SANDISK EXTREMEWrites at a speed of 60mb. Maybe she, too, will not start, and we must take on 128GB with 90 MB / s?

And another question: why do we need LowLight Mod 2.4, which overestimates ISO up to 1600, if the usual Mod 2.4 removes a maxim at 1000 ISO? For me it's better to let the picture be darker, but there will be less noise. So after all ?!

Post has been editedIroNick_nv - 09.03.19, 23:27

[ulin78]

I bought a camera, began to try, a bit darker and the amount of noise in the picture is terrible.
Stitched to v0.6.15.05i
Now I want to flash on MOD 2.4 LowLigh (RUS), but the camera does not see the firmware.
Already tried with the file force_fw.txt, and with the file rollback.txt, and together, and still does not see.
What am I doing wrong? How to flash?

The people demanded.

IroNick_nv @ 03/10/19 03:25

With this SANDISK EXTREME on 64GB writes at a speed of 60MB.

The smooth recording schedule and the recording speed in several streams are important. This Sandix writes with a bit rate of 250 Mbps without problems.

[Kukunduk]

Friends, I have not turned on the camera for a long time, but now I can not hook it to Mi Home. Maybe because the vacuum cleaner has already taken hold there. Software Version 6.15.05.
What can you advise on this situation, how easier it is to connect it, maybe someone has recently come across

[Dimbom]

Kukunduk,today faced the same. Removed the program / set again. Said that Europe. Disable smart wifi (just in case). Automatic search did not help anyway. Manually clicked the connection to the camera from the list. And here about half a minute, he was stupid, then he found it all the same and connected.

[Anonym_tomsk]

I looked through the topic, searched for it, really did not understand anything.
Please tell us how mod firmware differ and how are they better than native firmware? And what scripts are needed and for what?
Thank you in advance.

[Dimbom]

Cellmates, did anyone encounter interference with the sound of a gimble when shooting on a flask? I have a stabilizer "Zhiyun Evolution", but in six months for the first time I encountered a similar one. In search of the Internet, no one really complained, but I got stuck shooting because of the hum in the sound. There was a suspicion on the mobile phone, but the tests did not give anything, but with the gimble, of course there was no hum of the same strength, but some crackles appeared. Maybe someone has experience?

[molexey]

Dimbom @ 12.03.19, 21:36

Cellmates, did anyone encounter interference with the sound of a gimble when shooting on a flask?

My Feiyu G6 + is noisy, but on Moza AirCross everything is quiet.
At home gimbale motors can be heard only when it is very quiet.

[Dimbom]

molexeyFaraday cages, did not try to suppress the foil from the chocolates? Is there any method to protect against interference?

[Carmancy]

Is the battery from the more expensive xiaomi camera suitable?

[Anonym_tomsk]

Nobody answered the firmware, ask other questions)
1. How long does the battery really last? Is there a need for a second one or can you manage with a power bank for example?
2. How much does recorded video take in 1080 and 4k? For example an hour of video how much will it weigh? Do I need a second memory card or one for 64GB is enough?

[kazan74]

[b] Anonym_tomsk,
I'll try to answer.
1. I write two and a half hours. The battery goes one stick.
2. A 1080-30 file of 8 minutes long takes 4gig.
3.Proshivka Mod differs (in my opinion) in other recording modes and there are more of them.
4. How to work with scripts did not understand.

[Anonym_tomsk]

Kazan74 @ 12.03.19, 21:09

A file 1080-30 long 8 minutes takes 4gig.

Well yourself. Is it a 64GB card for half an hour only? Strange somehow

Posted 12/03/2019 21:31:

Kazan74 @ 12.03.19, 21:09

I write two and a half hours. The battery goes one stick.

And how much memory is occupied after recording 2.5 hours?

[Dimbom]

Kazan74 @ 12.03.19, 21:09

one stick leaves

Anonym_tomsk @ 03/12/19 9:30 PM

Well yourself.

There's only one stick in the battery meter :)

Kazan74 @ 12.03.19, 21:09

4. How to work with scripts did not understand.

script file: autoexec.ash to the root of the memory card. When you restart the command from it will be executed. If you delete it or rename it. The next time you start the camera will start without changes. Scripts to change the bitrate dependent on the firmware version
