What i know for sure is that all cards used, small or big, need to be fat32. With format tools you can format your 64gb card and reflash the fw to be sure

Mick,
Try installing Partition Magic and format your Evo+ 64gb card to FAT32 and with the cluster-size option set to 64k. That worked for me.

On windows, you can use the GUIFORMAT.EXE to format the card.
Hi, I'm on firmware 1.6. I bought kingston 64gb class10 and formatted it to fat32 16kb cluster size (the other: 64kb and 32kb caused a warning "wrong cluster size").
Problem: when recording a long video the cam splits the video file into several 4,3GB files but ALWAYS only the first does work. ALL the other are corrupted. Today I tired with the 3-minute cycle mode. Again few files were fine (~6GB in total) but all the rest was corrupted.
I tried it out with a different card with the same results.
What's the problem?
Is my cam broken?
Or maybe the cam doesn't support this card?
Or still it's formatted wrongly?
Does anybody know?
Cheers!

Another question (firmware v. 1.6):
After the camera is off because of low battery level I measured the voltage and it's 3.6V. This is way too high to get the most power of li-ion battery (it can be discharged safely to 3.3V or even 3.0V).
Why is that?
Can it be adjusted somehow?
Best.

Again the same. All fine until 6GB is reached (on 64GB card). Then all other files are corrupted.

I agree. I'd especially love a Manual shutter Speed of 1/60 sec. Gitup, have you heard of the 180 degree rule? It means it's often a good idea to shoot Video with a shutter Speed that is half of the fps, as this eliminates dropped frames. So if you're Video is Output at 30 fps (NTSC Video), it's a good idea to shoot at 1/60 sec (or a multiple of 1/30, like 1/90, 1/120 etc). Also 1/60 sec introduces a Little bit of blur, which makes Video look more natural. So for Action Video a fast shutter Speed is great, but for General Video, 1/60 sec is a great choice. Shooting at a lower shutter Speed will also reduce the ISO, greatly improving the low light Performance of the Git2.
But this would require Manual Control of shutter Speed in Video mode, not just photo mode. So, Gitup, what I'm really asking is, would it be possible for Firmware updates to include Manual Control of the shutter Speed in Video mode? This would be great for General videography, & artistic shots, not an Option for most Action cams!
One use I could think of is to record Music concerts. Due to the very fast lighting changes at rock concerts choosing a Manual shutter Speed & ISO (& aperture for most cameras) is important to get good results. Choosing Auto, even with an exposure compensation of -3EV often results in ghosting, where the Performers are very, very, overexposed. Being able to choose a the appropriate ISO, & a slow shutter Speed of 1/60 sec will greatly reduce ghosting, & the slow shutter Speed will minimize ISO, greatly reducing noise & improving low light Image Quality. Add the fact that an external mic can be added, & the Git2 could be a killer camera for rock concerts!
I also agree with Prokop S's Suggestion about White Balance. Using Kelvin scale would make Things easier, if it was an Option. I shot a night Scene last night in Tungsten, which was way too blue. Incandescent would have been more appropriate, around 3,800K.
Apologise for the random caps. I'm using a German Computer.
Hi, I' ve just flashed the v1.6_1028 firmware, I've a problem, with the giro on and the image rotation on, the video presents some orizontal "micro vibrations" also when the cam is firm and stable. No problems when image rotation is off. How can i solve this problem? Thank you!
Join dashcamtalk.com forum and pm @gitup. They monitor this forum closely!
Does anyone use any 64GB card without any problem? After issues with my 64GB Kingston I tried with 32GB SanDisk and it worked out of the box!
From my POV this is an issue with the firmware. Looks like it does not support cards bigger than 32GB.

Thanks guys. Then it seems my 64gb is broken. I'll order another one and try again.

Could any of you guys measure the voltage of the battery after the cam is off because of the low voltage? I'd appreciate it!!

I have two issues that concern me now...
When I film in 1080p 4:3 60 FPS it is not really 60 fps. The file info in explorer says it is 60 fps but in reallity when I am editing, I see that the picture only changes every second frame. So it is not really 60 FPS, it is 30 FPS with each frame twice.
:/
I got 8 cams, only one of them records the 1080p 60 fps with every frame changing.
All cams run on v1.6_1028.
Additionally all cams turn off, when the battery is about 3,9V. This gives me a recording time of 35 Minutes, allthough the LI- Ion batteries can be safely discharged untill 3,3V.
I hope you fix this issue soon.
