Upon receipt, Update your GP7 via your GP app on your celfon. You can download this GP app free to your celfon. (see how to download GP7 app on youtube.)
File Transfer: I just stick its microSD card into my laptop and save its vids/pix into my ‘Videos” folder.
Battery Life: 40min or so. I love to tinker with its settings and keep on checking its recorded vids. Deleting or cutting off parts of the vid clip’pix on my celfon GP7 app. So I use up a lot of battery. So, I got a recharger/3 batts. Battery hard to insert/take out? Don’t do what I did. I’m just saying what I did. What I did was fold a sandpaper and I sanded the portruding edges – lower part of my batteries - slowly, a couple of cycles only. just enough. I didn’t sand like mad. Wipe, then slip into your GP7. If firm and smooth. Stop. Otherwise, sand it again for a couple rounds until your battery slips in/out firmly and smoothly. Spot for even a slight glint of metal – stop immediately. Don’t rush. On trips, I take along my power bank.
My GP7 Settings: Aspect Ratio: 16.9 : FOV- Linear : Sharpnes-Med :
Color-Gopro Color : Auto Off= 30min; Screensaver-2min ;
Auto Lock=OFF: LCD Brightness=50%: Orientation=Off.
RES/fps: 720/60 & 1080/60( vids 03-04). Shutter spd: 1/120. WB-6500(cloudy).
EV-0: EIS-ON: Voice=ON :
CONS:
1. Overheating: microSD? Yes. I believe slow microSD is one cause of overheating. So get the C10 type. I noticed using 128GB causes overheating too. I now use 64GB only. I RES to 720/60 up to 1080/60. Set shutter spd to 1/120, 60fps X 2. I leave “low light” to OFF. Also, whenever not in use, turn off your celfon Bluetooth. I noticed if Bluetooth still “ON”, it sort of controls this GP7. Like one time my GP7 was feeling warm. I opened my celfon, and saw its Bluetooth was still on; and indicating “recording” although I already turned off my GP7. And since then, it did seem to cool down after I turned off my celfon Bluetooth.
2. Overexposure – to avoid overexposure, I set ISO Min = 100; ISO Max = 400. Higher than ISOMax-400 results in my GP7 to overexpose. Check to see if your Max ISO = 400. Sometimes, it resets to ISOMax 800 on its own.
One time, alhough I shut down my GP7, GP app got stuck in “recording” in my celfon. So, I had to shut off my celfon and restart it to get rid of this “recording” with GPapp on my celfon.
Please check out my uploaded vids on this page. “02 Exposure test ISO; Min=100/Max=400. Result=OK”. Another vid testing its EIS
“03 EIS OK.Handheld Walking uphill”. for vid taken in dim lit garage "Low Lite ok. EIS ok/Jerky bcoz cam inside front pocket.” don’t mind the shaking. I was after its ability to vid in low light. Another low lite vid “03 EIS OK.Handheld Walking uphill“ I also uploaded a vid with this GP7 mounted on my chest strap - “04 EIS/chest mount. Low lite test”. Note: As of today June 24, 2020, it seems they haven’t published it yet. Pls check if they already uploaded it. Looks like all they want to upload are ads for other cams, not User vids. Hope this helps you. Thanks everyone.
