Gopro 3 warning
Submitted by Fathom on Sun, 2013-03-10 14:37
Dont use 64G cards, thousands from all over the world are having trouble with them including me. Lost all my quadcopter footage from yesty and cam now doesn't recognise cards. (2 cards 2 cameras all out of action)
Gopro suggests using 32G or smaller, bit late now after suggesting otherwise, lost a few bucks on that (including my footage) and need new cards to start shooting again.
Be warned, upload your images from a card reader before using them in a Gopro again, my cams have worked for a while on 64G up till now.

They are trying to get a firmware fix done, how many hours you clocked on 64GB card?

They are allright, I find
They are allright, I find that they over expose slightly by about 1.5 stops but there are ways to get around that. For their size though...well...pretty bloody good.
Great for using with this thing:

That seems like a lot of overexposure.... I certainly havent noticed it with mine (but then I was using it in snow, where underexposure is the norm). Do you perhaps have it set to spot or something that could explain it? Does it clip a lot of the highlights and are you using it on protune? Technically if you want the best final output, expose-to-the-right is a good method as long as you're not clipping highlights (i'm not so sure its what the gopro is intending to do though...)
How cool would that quadrocopter be for spotting fish schools? Would be awesome during salmon season say, when its that little bit rough to see clearly through the water.

Tested all settings.....it
Tested all settings.....it over exposes, bit of a shame cause clipping high lights is a disaster.....not even worth using unless at the exact right lighting times, i.e the golden hours

The exposure on the gopro is way better than the sony when i looked at comparisions. I really like mine except for when i did a freedive at night with it and i had it set just slightly out of the water haha
