Action Camers/Go Pro

What resolution is it recording in

im charging it up at the minute....i leave it on charge for around 3-4 hours like it said on the instructions for first charge.
Is that what i should do.
if i leave it on charge for too long, will it start to loose charge or not?
Also, should i leave the battery in the camera when not being used?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Leave it on until it's fully charged 😀

What camera do you have?

Leave it on until it's fully charged 😀

when it charges, it seems to turn on aswell, but i just then turn it off. When its on and its charging, the battery symbol has no bars.

erm its called something like cooau

 

[MonsterEnergy]

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

[MonsterEnergy]

[MonsterEnergy]

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Yes.

Re photos - the highest possible

 

[MonsterEnergy]

Yes.

Re photos - the highest possible

at the minute its on 5M, and the highest is 20M
Which one should i do to keep more charge....ive notcied a difference with changing the video resolution....thanks guys

Photo mode won't eat battery like video will.. Likewise 4k video recording will use more battery and storage space than 1080p,/720p etc

Photos in 20MP, 5mp will look like it's been taken with a potato in comparison

how do you do time lapse on an action cam?

 

[MonsterEnergy]

i did a 60sec vid, and kept changing the resolution, but when i cam to play it, it was about 1 second, and the screen was green stripes everywhere.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong, or what settings to do for time lapse

Regarding the ops original question, do you really want something hard and square attached to your helmet? If you stack and go head first into the ground, that camera is gonna do one of three things.

1: Get squished into a billion plastic particles.
2: Get ripped off its mount and possibly go through a vent in the helmet.
3: Get pushed back through the helmet.

2 & 3 are things I'd be concerned about.

4. Or if stays intact act as pivot leading to potential worse injuries.
Handlebar mounted is by far the safest

Time lapse will be in one of the photo modes, is there no manual?
