Is there anyway you can try to get more images/videos for the Battlefield Hardline? Personally I found BF4 a disappointment from BF3 so I am still 50/50 on even ordering this one.
Any news for PC GTA V yet?

4GEE Action Cam file splitting

Hi all, I've just purchased one of the new 4GEE action cams and am using it out running or cycling. If i'm out for any length of time then the camera is splitting the video up into roughly 12 minute segments. Is there any way i can turn this off so that the entire video is recorded to one larger file as I have plenty of room on the memory card. EE said it was to do with protecting people's data allowances but I have my data turned off and I'm not streaming anyway. Thanks in advance

Hi (and , ), I checked in with someone on our Action Cam team and found the information below. I hope it helps! Let me know.
The camera supports FAT32 which is basically how the camera more efficiently stores memory. We’ve designed the camera so it splits files every 2GB of data making it easier for customers to download each segment. The camera doesn’t stop recording but for example an 8GB card would have 4 split files making it easier to download and edit those files.
So - I'm afraid you can't switch it off, as it's not a setting that can be changed. Unfortunately not. It’s a software thing so not a setting that can be changed.
Will that work out ok for you in the end ? Your feedback using the Action Cam is really useful so if there's anything from your experience which I can pass back to the team - I'm all ears!

Corrupt Files on 4GEE Action Cam

Hi Friends I have this 4GEE Action which to fair is usually a fantastic bit of kit, except I keep running out of data from streams but thats another story. Recently Ive been usng it with a 64GB Samsung SD Card and have done since having it. For some reason all my recordings past a certain point are corrupted and wont playback on quicktime or VLC (I should point out im using a Macintosh) I have re-formatted the card and that seems OK, Reset the action cam and that seems OK as well. The camera does pick up the full 7hrs of recording time and the 16K+ of photographs so clearly the memory is readable on the card. Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I go on a diving holiday in 10 days so would love to work this out. Many thanks for any help you kind people push my way.

ive got the excact same problem

4GEE Action Cam - account access problem

Not sure if this is the best place to ask as it's more to do with the app you have to install on your phone to use the camera. But I am in the app, on the "Settings / Your Account " page, I press "Data Management" it says I need to be paired to the camera to view. So I turn on the WiFi and pair up to the camera, go back to the page and it now says I need to be connected to the 3G/4G network to view. So I am caught in a trap. I cannot have both WiFi and 3G/4G network on at the same time so how am I meant to view my account?

Hi
Sorry about that a bit of confusion there!
Right from what I found you can't check your data allowance via the app. You can see the data usage alert texts in Settings > Your Account > Messages.
You can purchase more data via the app.
But to view remaining data you would need to log in to My Account. Click Here for the help & Support pages.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Action Cam, Recording blank files

I have an action cam with a 64gb Sandisk Card, when i set it to record it will record files of 10-12 mins at a time instead of continuous, which is fine, but after 4 files the 5th an on are totally blank, they had a data size, 1.77gb, a file name as normal, and a type .mp4 as normal. But there is no no video same with any photographs, the are all blank........ When I later added a new file without the watch it was a blank file again, if using the watch instead of just the button on camera, it works fine again. Does this mean I need to always use the watch, I paddleboard and the watch is just a pain to use all the time....

I was having exactly the same problem and fingers crossed I have sussed it. Well it worked for me, hopefully you too! The problem I had was I got a 64GB card and noticed as soon as the clip got to anythinging bigger than a few hundred MB it would not download to PC or play back for love nor money, either through the PC or the Camera app on iphone/ipad etc. I have seen EE's advice, download VLC. Well I tried that and I tried every player I had, Itunes, VLC, etc etc, all coming back with various messages, mainly saying the codec must be corrupted. EE were unable to help so..... Try formatting the card from the camera itself and not in the PC. It's in the settings, just go through the menu and you will find it. Format it in situ and voila! Now I did not do this previously beacuse as soon as i got the card and put it in the camera it seemed to work fine as I did a quick short clip to test it. It seemed that as they get bigger they did not work. Unfortunately you will lose everything you have recorded and you will not be able to recover them. I can say it has worked perfectly since, any size and EVERY time. Good luck and if this works, pass it on! It seems a common problem so hopefully, if this works for everyone, EE will add it onto the quick links.

Sony Action Cam (HDR-AS10 or HDR-AS15)

The new Sony Action Cam(s) (models - HDR AS10 & HDR AS15) were just released a few days ago...Any idea when Best Buy will stock this product in their inventory? Both are available via Sony's website, Amazon, and even 3rd party vendors, but Best Buy has yet to have any info on it. I tried calling customer service, but they were unable to provide me with a date. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi m4siuda,
I did hear back on this, and all I can say is I wouldn't expect us to be carrying these in our stores in the near future. They might be available on BestBuy.com relatively soon, and the best I can suggest is to keep checking back.
Thanks,

Oregon Scientific ATC5K action cam - does it work with iMovie / Leopard?

I'm looking at getting an ATC5K for a skiing trip but the specs say it is only compatible with OS X 10.4 (Leopard) and below. Can anyone confirm if it works ok with 10.5.x and iMovie?
Thanks

I've just got my ATC5K and I can confirm that you can import the AVI file format from it into iMovie without converting into a DV stream. iMovie will not pick it up automatically, you have to use the import movie option, but it works fine. As an aside, iPhoto picks it up automatically and treats it as a camera movie which at then end of the day I guess it is.
For a cheap, entry level action cam it's pretty good and I can't wait to try it out in anger on slopes!

Sony hdr-as100v action camera

I have a sony hdr-as100v action camera that i want to download pictures and videos from. Sony manual says to download "PlayMemories" software and use, but it will not load. My MacBook Air system is OS 10.6.8.
I am not sure if IPhoto will recognize and serve as the application for the camera.
Any suggestions or experiences?
SG

Doubtful iPhoto will recognize the camera but there's a workaround. Use the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Launch Image Capture then connect the camera to your Mac.
The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
Alternatively, you can also select iPhoto to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.
More help is available from the Image Capture menu bar. Click Help > Image Capture Help

Setting a Conditional Action for Pre-Test questions: Skipping Content Slides

OK boys and girls, let's see if this is even possible within one course SCO, or if this a multi-SCO solution (which means I'm toast, because we don't have the multi-SCO aggregator)?
I want to set up a prescriptive pre-test. In my ideal world, answers to each individual question would either enable or disable the content slides connected to the question. If the user passes the pre-test, they could opt to skip the prescriptive stuff and complete the course. If the user fails the pretest, they would have to view the enabled content.
Is this even possible in a single SCO world?
Justenuf

Jim belongs in that pantheon of good guys as well, so many here have pointed me in the right direction and helped me move forward with the capabilities of this software. And, in that spirit - here's my work around for the pretest/post test in a SCORM 1.2 environment:
Created an entrance slide that allows opting totake the pretest or not - but only allows you to take it once.
Created one test (take off the question x of x widget) split it and slide the content in between it. In this case, 10 questions with 5 in each set.
Titled the first set of questions as a PreTest and the second set as a Post Test.
Set my passing score at 4 correct. (the user only needs to get 4 out 5 on either set correct to pass - and I'm setting up an action that only allows the user to see the questions they missed if they fail the pretest.)
Created variables for each "pretest" question and set them at 0. Created on Enter advanced actions on each slide following a question that toggled the variable to 1 if the question was answered correctly if "CpQuizInfoLastSlidepointScored is equal to 1" then "Assign Question<x> with 1"
Created an On Enter advanced action for each content area slide "Skip #" that allowed prescription:
"If Question # is equal to 1 or cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1, then Go to Next Slide"
Only the content connected to the missed questions in the pretest is seen.
Copied the same On Enter advanced action the Post test questions and renamed it "SkipPost #" that allowed prescription:
"If Question # is equal to 1 or cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1, then Go to Next Slide"
Only the questions related to the reviewed content are seen
The sum total of these activities is the following -
The user can choose to take the pretest and complete the course by gettiong 4 or 5 questions correct and jump to the exit page.
     If the user takes the pretest and scores lower than 80%, the content for the missed questions is viewed and the user must answer the questions regarding
     that content. The user passes the course when he/she answers the fourth question correctly.
The user can choose to view the content, take the post test and pass the course by answering 4 of 5 correctly.
it's running right in preview, in web browser preview and on my LMS previewer, with one navigation error.
      the error: after failing the pretest, taking the prescribed content and anse wering the questions correctly, the course occasionally jumps to the results page
     and s displays a failure message, then freezes in place. it does NOT happen each time, which is why I am cy urrently scurrying back to my happy place to dwell
     on this mystery awhile.

HT204368 I have a Contuor action camera, I can't import the software to my phone as it is not compatable with safari

I have a contour action camera but I can't download the software to my phone as it is not compatable with Safari. Has anyone got a way to solve this problem?

What model TC is this? How old and on what firmware?
Do a full factory reset of the TC.. they do not like a change of setup.
Remember changes to router require a power down of the modem for long periods.. maybe 30min maybe longer.

Action Cam Error 513 recording

When trying to record, i get error 513 on my phone app, and the triangle on the camera screen photos work fine and i have also tried different recorning modes, and it makes no difference all i want to do is record not stream. thanksBen

Are you just using the internal memory? Not sure why you are getting this error, but if you do not have the recording on a loop, then it could be full and there is only space for taking photos. Otherwise I would suggest ringing EE, it appears they have a dedicated team for the action cam.

Mp4 files taken on action cam unable to playback

Deleting photos from Sony Action Cam using desktop computer

Hi Simple question and there will hopefully be a simple answer: How to delete selected photos from my Action Camera using a desktop computer? This is obviously one of the most basic things I should be able to do without having to post a question. Now I can only delete photos via smartphone or live-view which is slow and annoying. ThanksS

Hi Upeer,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
To delete photos or videos using a computer, make sure that the camera is securely connected and USB shows on the screen of the camera. Open Computer/My Computer. You should be able to see Removable Drive. Open Removable Drive and then open DCIM folder. Inside the DCIM folder, it will contain another folder, just open it and you will see all the photos and videos recorded in the memory card of the camera. You can highlight the files you want to remove using the delete button on the keyboard.
For further assistance regarding your concern, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
