Hi @supermesa1470

How was update done?

If it has not been done manually, see if it'll make a difference. https://gopro.com/en/us/update/hero7-black

You may also do a Short Record Times test.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

I do not compalin on 1.7 FW. Its the best in my opinion and I still hesitat to do update but I will. Question - How to get or backup my 1.7 FW?
