I've seen on the forums two issues: 1) the clip slides DOWN to start recording, and UP to stop. 2) timestamp issues. Have these been fixed?

UP to start, but no time stamp. Bit tricky to carry on the lapel....you have to be careful not to let it start accidentally when you get in your car, oddly enough. I just delete if that happens. Still love it. Hope this helps. I can record an entire training session at work (fairly large room, one speaker, 25 to thirty co-workers listening and asking questions) and get EVERY WORD. From my lapel (blouse...I am female), and no-one has a lue even yet. I can study the material later, you see!

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Okay guys I got the player yesterday and had the same problem so I did some massive googling for 2 hours and found the solution:Press Display, and then use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the different display options. When you see the timestamp go off, just let it sit there for like 4 seconds and the display will go off.I had to do this once for divx videos, and once for dvd videos and have not had a problem since.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

I was messing with settings and had the same thing happened to me with it stopping and not recording constantly. I just reset it to default and after restart I picked English again. The default settings work best for me. I have used class 4 and class 10 microSDHC successfully with camera. If your computer doesn't read the videos on the memory card just plug camera into tv and or monitor with hdmi to verify that it is being recorded. I view and import videos with adapter card inserted into front of computer and realplayer program.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

Is been a while since I used it. I will have to check again, but I will have to say my first time with it I was not happy with it at all. All the time I was recording I only got maybe a quarter of it and it still had a ton of recording time.

I returned my flip ultra 30 minute camcorder because of the inconsistency of the record button. I got another one, and then I had the same problems with the second one. Obvious design flaw.

Hmm that is strange, as I have mine set up and it runs without a hitch! I do have it set to record upon motion detected, and it has caught most everything, even squirrels and cats walking by. I have not used the timed hours feature, I should try it to see if it works correctly. You might double check the clock it is going by, to ensure it has the correct time. I am sorry to hear that there is no support, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope that mine continues to work as it has so far - perfectly. I have experienced the fact that when it is recording, the viewpoint defaults to the camera with which it is recording with, and you cannot see the other camera(s) while it is recording. I just have the 2 cameras, and when I have it in quad mode, it does warn me that scheduled recording cannot begin as long as it is in quad mode; I just get seasick watching it constantly switch back and forth between the cameras, and I want to see both of them at once, all the time, hence the quad mode viewing. I have been very happy with this product. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved.

Yes, it is (at least for me) always closed when recording, and I only open the display when I need to look through video for playback.

you should use memory card "Class 10" or "UHS 1". it will be good to record 60F/s. If You use Memory card under class 10, your clip will be lag, not smooth

Hi Ronnie G, no it doesn't at this stage but apparently with the inclusion of synhcronised video they will be able to do it at some stage but the metrics are very difficult to work out, as for the synchronised video it is still in development. I am helping test a beta version at the moment but their updates seem to have come to a stand-still large problems so far.

I've recorded video until the card filled up. Deleted it and did it again for several other events. Never had a problem. Works great!

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(
