Beautiful Sir ..

RIP Picasa! What's the best free alternative? Will Lightroom make video from the photos?

sj cam4000 has video stabilizationn ?

Como colocar a imagem na proporção 16:9 (tela cheia)?Na minha Sj4000 só consigo imagem na proporção 4:3.

My firmware is from 8 april, is that the newest one?

I think there is a simpeler way to shoot time lapse with sj4000. Just turn on the videolapse

+Kovács Bálint 1080p videolapse take's up more memory and battery and is 2.1 megapixels, so if you take photo time-lapse you use less power and less memory, plus have the choice to go up to 14 megapixels and crop it later and get a much better end result

I have bought a SJCAM 4000 wifi, i see it have videolapes mode, but i can not use that mode. When i try to take a video with that mode, SJCAM app display "There is no real time flow in this mode". How to fix it? Please help me, thanks!

is for a 24hours timelapse good 32GB SDcard??

+Review Outlaw Most compacts take really good video, and the phone you have probably does too. The trick is getting more light in the scene to reduce noise. Also remember that in video, sound is the most important thing, so investing in a cheap audio recorder like a Zoom H1 will make the most difference. You could use the H1 with the SJ4000 or any other video camera. Also check out my video on using your phone to record sound with your SJ4000: kzread.info/dash/bejne/la5kzJOdf9TZnM4.html

+Rob Nunn good advise I will do that keep up the Great videos, I can defiantly learn a lot from you!

Rob, I can't tell you how wonderfully informative this is. I have a DBPower 5000 and I think the cameras are essentially the same, but the DBPower folks offer no support when I ask questions and their printed guide is incomplete. Tell me one thing: On my camera, I have "duration" and "time lapse," both. What's the difference between "sequence/duration" and "time lapse" settings and how do you make the "time lapse" setting work on the camera?

@RobNunn

8 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure that duration refers to when the camera is recording looped video, say you're using it as a dash cam in your car. The duration is the amount of time the video records before it records over itself. Alternatively it could be the amount of time the camera records the timelapse for. TImelapse will be the gap, in seconds, between the camera taking still photos. Probably.

i take the image to a the 14mp then crop it, that way you get a better end result. great video bro

Hello, what is the longest time lapse you have been able to capture? I followed your guide today with the intention of carry out an 8 hour time lapse but just returned to find the camera shut off after 1 hour exactly. Cam was connected to power the whole time and plenty of memory, nothing I can find in settings to suggest why it shut itself down.

great informative video Rob. One word of warning though. i updated my sj4000 wifi firmware to version 1.2 i think it was. Anyway now the interface has changed and ive lost the antishake option. Sjcam have sent me the original firmware of 1.1 but its made no difference even tho the firmware says 1.1. Sjcam have offered no more help so ive no idea if ive lost image stabilisation on the camera. frnakly not worth upgrading. Unless anyone has any idea how i can get anti shake back or even if the anti shake is any good. But good video

Rob thanks for that. These cameras are so cheap now (£19.99 on eBay) that I'm suggesting to a client that they put one in their wood drying kiln to film a litre of water evaporating as the heat rises. If the camera is ruined it isn't the end of the world. Do you happen to know if the battery or SD card have the capacity to run for several hours (up to 12)?

mine says version: g20141101v01 date: oct 31 2014 firm: sjcam

Dude i think you're a little confused! Native resolution of the sensor is 1080 for videolapse. Native resolution for photos is 14mp. Youre doing a photolapse so you need max resolution of 14mp. Trust me, the diference in image quality is clear to see. Also shooting in a larger resolution than the 1080P of the final output video gives you the option to pan and zoom the timelapse within the 1080 window during editing for those using a little more advanced software. Either way, your info on cranking the res above 1080 wont give you any benefit is completely wrong. Example. A DSLR can shoot much higher res photos than it can shoot video, a factor with all cameras.

sj 4000 doesn't have HDR so go to WDR i think

why 2MP? why not 12? :/

@RobNunn

9 жыл бұрын

alex w The sensor in the SJ4000 is a 2mp sensor - using the higher settings does not gain you any detail at all, they're just there to boost the specifications. Stick with 2mp and the quality is good, and the file sizes manageable.

So I have to import everything to my computer and edit the pictures altogether. That makes sense now. I though you just press the button and the device will do the rest for you. lol
