Am I imagining that there is a setting that causes the camera to begin recording automatically when it is turned on? Maybe I am thinking of another camera...

Thanks a lot mate 🙌🙌 Definitely avoid zooming! That pen is interesting! I have one too but put it away because i mainly used it with my A7Siii! Definitely gonna put that in my backpack now, cus that thing is even better!🙌🙏🙏🙏

Now we have to decide upfront whether to record vertically or horizontally. Gone are the days of reframing later in Studio or the mobile app. Jumping between 16:9 and 9 :16 after recording creates a mess, unlike the freedom we had with the Go 2 and Go 3. This feels like a compromise forced by the new 4:3 sensor instead of a spherical one!!

We have 20 hours of daylight now, can’t help u with that 🤦🤷

When it works

5m

Pretty sure it can go down to 10m without the case

Ye 10m 👍

I assume they will be somewhat the same. The differences i guess, is compensated with the sensor optimization. But you’d mainly get this type of camera for daytime and the 3S for the better 4K image

@@RobHK Mh i think the optimization could be by software update even for the "old" go3, upgrading seems not worthy.

Isn't quite as simple as f2.8 is worse than f2, but it does mean less light. However, the focal lengths are different, the lens is bigger, and the processing is improved. There's no guarantee that the optical quality of the two lenses are identical. So, too many variables to really say worse. It could be a wash and it could mean something is better or worse. Right now, we need folks to anecdotally do some testing.

@@davidfirth1 Mh, i don't know... i don't get why not keeping the aperture "bigger" and still have software optimization, it seems sus to me that the go3s costs even less than the normal go3, like they skimped on something (like that aperture)?

@@granciporro Engineering doesn't work like that. The focal length, target use of the sensor area, and lens are all different. It isn't a case of the camera looks the same so therefore why didn't they leave it alone. What I expect is that the lens configuration of the 3 was not up to the performance level, optically, that they needed to do 4K, even with the improved processor. // Edited to add that even in mirrorless cameras, wider apertures do not add up to more clarity. Usually the lenses are optically not that sharp "in the corners" wide open (excluding very expensive, very well compensated glass). A lot of fast glass lenses actually are at their best, clarity wise, when they're stopped down to a smaller aperture. It is a game of compromises in design.

Ikr! Time flies😩

Final cut👍
