Fog around the lens in Camileo X-Sports

I'm very carefull to load the camera at home and even add a dry "moisture pad" in the camera but after a few minutes (5) in the sun I get a fog circle just around the lens. I have to open the case each time.
This part of the camera becomes warm and I guess this is the fog reason but it ruines all my videos.
Any other way to prevent the fog besides from the inserts? Is my camera faulty ?
My first camera was replaced due to a freezing issue but didn't noticed the fog problem, but it was not so warm than now.

Hi alfot
Don’t be afraid about the fog around the lens.
It seems to be nothing unusual using such action cams within the case (not only the Camileo X sports but other cams like GoPro, etc…)
The warmness may be forcing any moisture in the case to condense on the lens cover.
To prevents this you might use some anti-fog inserts.
Take a look into this thread:

CAMILEO X-SPORTS fogging around the picture

Hello,
I'm a "new" User of this ActionCam and I'm very happy with this cam.
It works like expected, I use it on my Bike Helmet.
Now my problem, in this days with the early spring the sun come more and more. Today we have a very sunny but cold day. I prepared the helmet and Cam inside the house.
When I was back from my ride and checked the Videoclips I found on all the Videoclips around a fogging frame. But when I check the Cam or the housing the lens and glas a clear !?
If somebody as explanation for that ?
One other Point, I do not have much experience with this Cam (I have it 5 days).
After 72 minutes recording 1080 60 frames the cam running out of power, is that normal ?
Thank you for answer this (maybe) dumm questions for an beginner.
regards,
Stefan

The battery life depends on the use of the different functions (resolution, image stabilizer, remote control, WiFi, screen with/without power save function), but with normal use is approx. 80 and 90 minutes.
Regarding the fogy frame:
Not quite sure about this effect but it could be possible that this fogy frame appears due to overexposure. The cam supports the settings called: spot meter
If youre taking a photo from inside towards a brighter area outside, pictures can often be overexposed. The spot meter allows the camcorder to focus on a lighter scene in the distance in order to calculate the optimum level of exposure. This can happen when youre taking photos from dark surroundings.

Where to find the user manual for Camileo X-SPORTS

Hello!
Unfortunately can't find in Toshibas's download sections *user manual* for action camera *Camileo X-Sport*. Need more info about some operations and technical things, to decide about purchasing.
Any ideas, where can I find this extended manual?
Many thanks for help!

Is there a ring flash that fits around the Raynox 'snap-on' style Macro lens?

I have a Canon G11 and use the Raynox Macro lens (MSN 202) for photographing snowflakes.
Is there a ring flash that is made to specifically fit the Raynox lens or is it a case of buying one with a large enough internal diameter (something like the Polaroid Macro LED Ring Flash for Canon, model PLMRFC) to go around the Raynox and then coming up with a way to secure it in place?

I bought the Vivitar LED Macro Ring Flash DR-7000 which has threaded adapter rings 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72 and 77mm.
I bought it for and old G5 and an S5 is. It also came with 4 diffuser rings. So far I am impressed and I cannot afford the Canon Ring flashes.

Problem recording videos with Toshiba Camileo X-Sports

Hi there,
I recently just brought the Toshiba Camileo X-Sports so am fairly new to how the camera works.
As the title suggests I am having some issues recording.
Right I'll try and explain the best i can
The reason I purchased this device was mainly to be used as a car safety cam (crash cam) as I'm a taxi driver, I drive around 200 miles per day and people's ability to drive sensibly is just getting crazy now and having video evidence if the worst should happen would be amazing. Other reasons was for trips out on my motorcycle and also being able to take this cam under water.
I received the X-Sports on Wednesday, placed the memory card in and hit format card to ensure the card was correctly set for use with the X-Sports
I then read through the manual to see what settings would suit my needs best... I came across looping video.
Here's what the manual says.
Looping Video
Looping Video features recording a continuously looping video that overwrites itself until you stop it.
Looping Video feature includes:
OFF - Default
Max - Depending on the maximum capacity the camera records a certain number of videos based on 15 minutes files, then deletes the first 15 minutes file to continue recording a new video.
5 Min - Camera records 5 x 1 minute file, then deletes the first 1 minute file to continue recording a new video.
20 Min - Camera records 4 x 5 minutes file, then deletes the first 5 minutes file to continue recording a new video.
60 Min - Camera records 4 x 15 minutes file, then deletes the first 15 minutes file to continue recording a new video.
120 Min - Camera records 8 x 15 minutes file, then deletes the first 15 minutes file to continue recording a new video.
So upon reading this I though right as I have a 64gb card (Samsung EVO 64gb Class 10 U1 micro SDXC) I will put the setting on Max and then if ever I needed to recall a video i will have a decent chunk of the day stored on the memory card leading up to the event.
I took the camera out with me on Thursday just for an hour and when i got home i took the memory card out and placed it into my laptop to view the recordings and this is where my problem comes in.
The first 15min video plays back fine but every file after that will not play. when i open the memory card file the first video has the preview style thumb nail where as the rest of the video files do not.
I then searched online and come across this website looking for answers.
some of the info i read was that 1080 60fps was causing some problems with recording and playback and to turn down the fps to 30fps, also that the stability control was also a possibility for these issues.
So last night i went through and made the necessary changes to my settings 1080 @ 30fps and no stability control. I then set the camera up in the living room for 45mins as a test. i then tested the recordings on my laptop and hey presto it worked. 3x 15min videos all playing back as they should Great stuff
This morning at 5am i left for work taking my shiney new cam with me, happy in what i might capture on today's drive and also be satisfied that my camera is functioning as it should.
I get home, stick the memory card into the laptop and I'm back to square one. my first 15mins was fine and all others were unable to playback. I also tried the memory card in my PC and still had the playback issues.
Does anyone have any ideas or shall I return this as faulty?
Sorry for the big post but wanted to put as much info as possible!
Thanks, Leon.

Does the Lens Profile Creator work with Photoshop Elements 8.0..?

Hello,
I am very new to the world of Photoshop, so please forgive if this is an obvious/stupid question...
I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I have a couple of pictures that I need to remove the 'fish eye' lens distortion from around the edges...
The blurb for the Lens Profile Creator says that it is for use in the "Adobe Photoshop® family of products"...
Does this include Photoshop Elements 8.0 or do they really mean it is just for Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom...
Any help will be appreciated...
Many Thanks

PSE does not have the user-interface to turn on lens-corrections, nor does the ACR 6.1 update for PSE contain the lens-profile database installer, so if PSE is the only member of the PS-family that you have installed then effectively you cannot apply lens profiles.
If a computer has the lens-profile database installed and lens-distortion-correction has been enabled in the XMP sidecar for a particular image, both requiring PS-CS5's ACR 6.1-updater or LR3 to be installed and one of those used to enable lens-corrections for the image, then PSE can use ACR 6.1 to apply a lens profile, because the version of the ACR 6.1 plug-in for PS and PSE is the same plug-in.
BTW, removing fish-eye distortion completely, which is what enabling lens-corrections does by default, will leave a rather poor looking image that has been completely rectilinearized but has severe stretching of the pixels at the edges, so only the center is useable. With my 8mm Sigma fisheye, I reduce the Distortion part of the correction down to 44 so the black corners are gone, but there is still some bulging of the image.
If you want to experiment with lens-corrections, you could install the 30-day trial of LR3.

Camileo X-sports - no thumbnail files using 1080p 60fps

Hi everyone:
I've recently bought the camileo x-sports. It's a nice camera but i found one problem with it:
It is supposed that with every video or photo that it takes, it creates simultaneously anoher smaller sized file, named as "thm".
The problem is that my x-sports does not create that file for videos in 1080p 60 fps, but it does for 30fps.
Whats the problem with it?, i tried solving it updating the firmware, but it did not result.
Thank you for your time.
Enrique.

The thm file extension means thumbnail image file and this is a quick snapshot of your video.
Besides the original recorded video file (VID00001.mp4) a smaller sized video file (VID00001_thm.mp4) will be created during video recording.
This file will be used for faster video content transfer with your WiFi APP from the camera to your tablet / smartphone device and further to upload your videos and photos to social networks with your WiFi APP.
Obviously the snapshot isnt created due to the double frame rate and I guess this happens because the 60fps file is much bigger and probably 30fps videos file quality is good enough to watch it on your tablet / smartphone or for upload to social networks, etc

Camileo x-sport: Can I connect external mic to micro USB

Hello everybody,
I need to record audio with a lavalier microphone.
Can i connect an external microphone to the micro USB of the Camileo x-sport to record audio ?

The micro-USB 2.0 port is a computer interface. This means that this port will be used in order to connect the camera to notebook or computer.
The camileo x sports supports an internal microphone and its also possible to increase the mic sensitivity using the option within the settings menu.

Has anyone solved or worked around the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch?

I can't find any mention on any forums of the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch later than Feb. 2014. I just installed 12.2 (which was my first CC version) on my macpro and started getting the red flash frames randomly, but with increasing frequency, in my projects. I have never had this problem before on any previous computer or version for AE. The forums I've read have referenced ProRes source footage, outputs to ProRes, and lens blur. My project uses all of these things.
If there is a universally accepted solution/work around, I haven't seen it definitively. Do I not use ProRes source footage? Do I not render to ProRes 4444? Do I not use the lens blur effect? Do I give up and go back to CS6?

Hi Keith,
I have the "same" issue with the red frames in AFX CC
I have seen them first, as I resized a prores4444 HD to a smaller format and saw the redframes in the preview window.
Setup in AFX: I created a comp from the HD Prores4444 footage and put this comp in a comp with resolution of 960x540.
The output format was again prores4444.
I shuttled through the clips in the small comp and I saw the red frames too.
When I switched to the HD comp at the same position everything was fine.
I "solved" the problem by flushing the cache, twice. Because after the first purge I was only able to render the first clip. The second one had the red frame problematic again.
Maybe It has something to do with hardware accelerated layers.
I'm using a MacPro running OSX 10.8.5 with a Nvidia GTX680.
Cheers
Michael

Camileo X-sports freezing

Hello,
I have recently bought a Camileo X-sports.
It appears to freeze randomly but regularly when filming. It always happened with the case on.
The recording stops and none of the buttons respond anymore.
Each time I had to remove the battery to reboot it.
Which I could not do in my surfing sessions :(
First I thought it was from my old micro SD card so I changed it to a brand new class 10.
Is there something I can do or should I contact the provider for warranty?
Best Regards and thanks for your help,
Xeniluom

yup! I had the same problem at first, i have the Samy EVO class 10 32G SDHC.
It's usually brilliant, actually it works fine with the 50 fps, 30 fps and even the 720p 120 fps.
However i found the problem easier than most people simply due to sheer coincidence.
I left the screen on while recording and right before i stopped recording (btw it never froze in my case it just stopped recording) and the screen displayed "low speed card"! what do you know!
I researched the issue and it turns out the Samsun EVO was a bit slower than what the camera required at 60 fps. at 50 fps it barely stopped recording once.
SanDisk Micro SDHC Extreme Class 3 32GB SDSDQXN-032G-G46A
This card is a relatively cheap one, it is a UHS class 3 which mean it's an Ultra High Speed card. The class 3 is a great ranking. It's like 10 Euros more expensive than the Samsun and from what i've read works great with the GoPro hero 4 while shooting 4K & 1080p at 120 fps so it should hold up very well.
It was never the upgrade or downgrade of the software. Lucky i left the screen on!

Camileo X-Sports - missing dashcam mode

The Camileo X-Sports is great action camcorder but I miss the dashcam mode - recording in loop with date/time shown that starts automatically after detecting the charger or motion.
There is a Video Looping option but it uses the memory that was free while starting the recording.
Is there some hidden option to activate even just the loop because it looks like just a slight modification of the Video Looping option is needed (loop using the entire memory)?

Is there some hidden option to activate
No, as far as I know such mode isn't available...

I have problems when using the camera on my iPhone 4S (the same for my daughter with a iPhone4) A veil around the blurred photo, a development impossible and completely unable to read the bar code or QR code. What to do?

Sounds kind of stupid, but check to make sure that your iphone case cover is not blocking the edge of the camera lens. I had a silicone case on my 3S and when it got older, it started tot slip and the edges of my pictures were blurred.

What accessories are needed to connect my Apple TV to my LCD projector (VGA connectors) in the classroom so that I can mirror my iPad for around the class teaching?

I have been wanting to project my iPad to my class and the only way I have found is to use the connector. However, I would like to remove myself from in front of the classroom and move around the classroom. This encourages students to take notes and not pass notes. This also encourages them to engage in questioning of the lesson, because the teacher is not far removed from them if they're in the back of the classroom. How can I connect? I've read some forums that discuss converters and many who say it needs to be active or powered, but some of these powered converters are nearly two times the amount of the Apple TV. I wouldn't mind paying if this is the suggested way and it works. I don't want to go through several failed and expensive experiments.

There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (if you are using the Apple TV 2)
