Hi all - I'm looking to purchase yi action camera for wide angle shot during travelling, is it friendly with iphone 6? or should I wait for yi 2?

need some inputs.

thanks!

You can install a script to your sd card that will auto record once camera switched to ON. Look for it here http://nutseynuts.blogspot.my/2015/06/xiao...cripts.html?m=1

Take out the battery if you use the camera for dashcam as the heat can destroy the battery.

Hey guys. I took a timelapse of 6 seconds earlier but when I try to view it in the app, the loading wheel just keeps spinning. It's been 5 minutes now. Is this normal?

Good share.. although it still require the cam to be turn on after 5v supply connected.


I still want to use it for a normal selfie when i go jalan jalan, right now when use as dashcam, i just hang the yi remote at car signal stalk..

Buy 2 sd card, one for dashcam and one for normal use. Install the autorec script at the sd card for dashcam use.
Just change sd carf for different purposes.

Isnt the script will embedded to the firmware?

The autorec script is to be copied to the root of your sd card. When you switch on the camera, it will affect the changes. Switch OFF and Change to other sd card without the autorec file and switch on again, you can use the camera like normal.
Do read the details in the website.

so manage to fix the focus problem but i didnt glue the lens back after adjusting it.
i think i just leave it like that.

i did not glue mine either

so can pusing2 like dslr later
(actually didnt have the hot glue tools here)

How do you guys determine whether your camera has focus issue or not ?

I have uploaded a few pictures, could you guys help me to see whether need to fix the focusing problem or not ?

Thanks !

Hi. Have anyone tried this 'auto record' ? any problems occurred during recording? thanks

bear in mind there are few miliseconds delay while adjusting

i cant judge lol.
as for me the OOF happens mostly during selfie or when object at the centre of framing

On mobile phone here, basically you would want to adjust the shortest distance in-focus at about an arm lenght. Too close, youll lose distant object, too far, youll lose selfie length pic..

i see.
i will re-adjust again later.

there is no perfect solution for where to set focus. You have to make some sacrifice. Either close up gets perfect and loose the background or background is perfect and you loose foreground.. Recommended is the middle .. but you get middle results too..

Unfortunately there is no focus ring on this unit. In the old film days pre autofocus.. we call that hyper focusing.. and shoot knowing you get it somewhere there if the subject is within the focus zone..
