With my tests I was careful to give the camera time to do its thing after stopping the video, maybe that's a factor (not pressing other options before the file is saved). ?
what do you mean?
I do not think you are doing something wrong....camera should follow his own sequence of saving, closing files, power off.... and not listen to other commands till this is done.
I was using the SD card provided by GoPro. After all the other tests I've done I'm pretty sure the loss of footage was due to some kind of user error (mine). I might not have given the Hero 8 enough time to save both files, or I might have done a long press to start the recording (recording a timelapse instead of straight footage). ??? At any rate, all the other tests worked fine.
I did "reset" the camera back to defaults and it hasn't happened since. Ill be sure to report back if it occurs again. Never had this happen on my hero 7. 😭
