I'm on my second hero2 . The first one filmed in a pink tone and now the brand new one films in green :/.Hopefully the third time is a charm ....

I run mine on the 960 setting great for slow mo and never had a glitch

Im running mine on 1080. Are you sure its not just you computer or the media player you are using?? Try plugging the camera right into an HD tv and see if it still glitches.

 

[sledneck_03]

what class of card do you have? you need a class 10. the class is the read write speed.

I used a non class rated old 1 gb walmart fuji film card, so probably a class 4 and it was glitchy as hell at 720. I got a 32 gb class 10 and its great on 1080 now.

mine is set to 1080 and no glitches....class 10 card.....but i agree with the comment above - it may just be your computer....plug it directly to the tv or once you burn it to disc it should be fine....

and i don't have any color tones like someone stated above....crystal clear...very inpressed....my buddy bought the contour hd at the same time and there is a night and day difference...hero2 is the way to go

Did you set your tv to that hdmi port?

The choppy playback on the computer is due to the fact the computer can't keep up to the recording. Mine does it at anything higher than 720 on my crappy notebook.

I am not sure how someone can run it at 960 for slow motion. The only 960 setting is 30fps and plus its 4:3. 720 is the only setting for 60fps for slow motion playback. Slow mo at 30fps would lose frames and resolution because you are only recording half the amount of fps.

If you don't require slow motion use the 720 30fps and it should help the playback on a slower computer. Also if you are just using it for Youtube and home vids, there isn't much point in recording in anything higher than 720. Most people can't tell the difference if you put 720 next to 1080 for playback. If you are one of those people who say its a huge difference, well thumbs up to you. Plus recording in higher res yields larger files.

I have the pink light sensor issue with mine. Its going back but not until winter is over. It is cured by doing a warm boot when its cold out. Turn on when cold, click record for 2 seconds, stop record, power down and power back up.

So I should have it at 1080 instead of 960

Ther is 2settings for 960. 30fps and 48 fps for slow motion. 960 is used for the widest top to bottom and side to side viewing area.

Yes sorry, 960 in 48, but thats still a 4:3 aspect. I just prefer watching in 16:9. 960 is fine for top to bottom, but 16:9 still gives you the widest view. Don't you find 4:3 odd to watch?

Ah I got it figured out and ya it way better on the tv with 1080... Thanks

apparantely there is an update on go pro's webiste to help get rid of the color issues.

I like the view of the 960. With 1080 I find you get too wide and not enough up/down

Thanks , I read that on their site.After spending $350 on a camera , you would think it should work properly out of the box.
Heres 960 30fps

You need the mini-HDMI to HDMI cable available at Future Shop for 20 bucks (I have the Rocketfish one and works fine)

Try a better generation of SD card...probably solve your issues since mine is on 1080p and no issues...
