Hero 7 quick capture rec upside down if shake it (test it!!) [ New ]

[francescom48]

When I use the quick capture, often the body records upside down (exactly how the camera is actually positioned). This appen when I start quick capture during bicycle, run or walking(rotation display setting Auto). If you want to test it just shake it like a shaker to simulate the run or the bicycle and start quick capture.4 video on 10 are upside down when I filming in mountain bike.  Does it happen to you?

Ps. In the Hero 5 it doesn't happen.

Hello @francescom48. In your setup, do you recall if the Landscape Lock was Off, Up or Down? We tested with the Landscape Lock Off. Whether the camera was right-side up, or upside down, using the Quik Capture button resulted to a recording right-side up. What other settings did you have when you used your camera? Hope to hear back from you.

Hello @mariustanya , Landscape is set to Off, the others mode works. But when the Landscape is off and the Hero is upside down quick capture if I run, I go down the stairs or I'm in mtb and start recording with quick capture almost 50% of the time the video is upside down. You tried to shaker the cam and start through quick capture without stopping shaker until the registration beep.

@francescom48 - Yes, we did shake the camera to simulate how it would be when on a bicycle. Were you able to check if it matters which program you use to view the footage? Do you also observe the upside down video playback on the camera?

In fact, it records upside down, in fact even the time timer is turned upside down, watch the attached video and understand what I mean.

Thanks for sharing @francescom48

Would it work with your setup if you change your camera's orientation to DOWN?

It works by blocking the orientation, but unlike the hero 5 the rotation is slower and less ractive in the Hero 7 probably this is the problem.

@francescom48   I just grabbed all three cameras of GoPro  Hero 5,6,7 non   did go upside down I was on default settings  but my res was 2.7K

All I can think of is the Gyro you are overloading it with that shake   and gopro gets confussed where the level mark is?   so the question is to the Mods , do you think he has a faulty camera with hardware?
