My camera only has a 5 minute loop not 10. Is there something I'm missing or have I been sent the wrong camera?

The 5 minute recording session length is set by default. If your Menu navigation is working then on one of the screens you'll see an option to choose 5 min or 10 min. But if you are using this dash cam for evidence purposes wouldn't a shorter session (smaller file size) be better if you have to submit something in it for evidence. My preference would have been a 3-minute file size which still comes close to 300 Megs.

Mine too. Given the language issues in the user manual... I'm sure this is just a firmware variation. I also noticed that the menu says infrared LED, while the LED on my unit is visibly white.

My camera does not have a 10 min. loop either, not sure that isn't a bit of an error in the product description. Suggest you contact the customer service name in the documentation to see what they say. Would be interested in their comment as I have ordered another unit for my other vehicle. Love the unit and the video it produces. Have mine set at 720 rather than 10180.

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better

I have one and I've recently reviewed the manual. I recall there being a 10 second delay (to get in the picture), and a 2 second delay (for stabilization). The manual is downloadable from Kodak's website.

Sorry, I don't have that camera as of yet... HooToo was supposed to mail it to me but I never got it as of yet.Sorry I can not be much help.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about time lapse photos. Frankly, I did not realize it had a timeout setting that cannot be over-ridden. My use of this has been purely as a wireless shutter release cable doing product photography. Will merely taking a shot before the 15 minute timeout reset the timer for another 15 minutes?

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

Indeed, the camera hasn't got a "total number of shots" counter accessible to the user. Mine has nulled the file-numbering three times though, so I know I have over 30 000 shots on it. - It has been semi-retired now for the 5d Mk III, so it will only operate as a backup camera in the future (still working perfectly though)

Hi, DL. If you have multiple cameras, you can either select each one individually or have it automatically cycle between them. While cycling, it will show each camera for about 10 seconds at a time.

If you want to go for more than 99 shots, set the exposure counter to ZERO, then it'll shoot for all eternity or until your memory card is full, whichever comes first. By setting it to zero, I shot 520 frames doing a cloud time lapse before the card said full and stopped working. If you're going beyond the max 99, you can get your feedback of how many shot by your camera's display showing how many more shots you have to go before you card is full. Then a quick change of memory card and let 'er rip some more.

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

The camera keeps recording five minutes intervals and when is full it automatically starts deleting the oldest ones and replacing them with new ones. So it's infinite loop. My camera is use in truck and is running weekly five days nonstop without any problem.

No, it does not work in loop mode; technically this is not possible because loop mode would need the camera to record in pieces and delete the oldest (fixed size or time), but this camera is recording in a single piece until you stop it or the card is full. However a 32 GB card holds about 8 hours of 720p video, much more than a battery charge, so you can delete the card when you charge the battery; if you don't have a computer with you just use the format button. I am using it also on a motorcycle and that's the way I do.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

Changing battery is always a good idea but make sure tour camera is on the self timing mode, whether it b 5 second delay or 10 second delay. It took me a while to figure it out but it did work. Self timer mode is the key.
