[daytripper419 0]

Is there any update to if the problem with the continuous photo in either .5 second or 1 second been fixed??? I have looked through past threads but they are a few months old without a confirmation if this problem has been fixed? I have been waiting to buy until I can get confirmation of this fix. Thanks j

Referring to the exposure lock on those two modes. I understand they don't consider it a problem as it was designed this way but wandering if they made an update to be able to unlock the exposure in either of these two modes. Thanks j

Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid.

This information comes from gopros website. So looks to be fixed/changed.

does anybody have any idea why Sandisk cards are not suggested for use in the black edition?

I have already been hearing scuttlebutt anecdotally, that the most recent firmware update is merely now trading off old issues (the .5 second problem "fix") for new ones (WiFi randomly and unpredictably engaging) - causing already, several to revert yet back again - to previous version(s).

Pick your poison(s) / selection of "acceptable bug/evils".
No clear panacea out there still, yet.

Again - Just some further anecdotal "FYI" is all.

Damn it. Wanted this for handcam pictures to get more. Oh well my hero 2 works great so will stick with that until they figure out the black edition

From what I heard is that Sandisk quality is poor.
They advertise their cards as "Class 10" speed, but there are few sectors on cards that do not perform that well (and that has caused GP3Black lockouts).
