Is it possible to use the Story Teller application to configure different SD cards (while in the camera) with different camera options? for example, 1 card to record @ Action HD-720p, and a 2nd separate SD card to record continuous photos every 3...

I tried this to see what I could come up with. From what I found, you will need a new card everytime you want to change the settings if you don't have access to a computer. There is a text file on the microSD card that can be changed to update the camera settings. One of the fields there however is 'Update'. Once you update the camera with the new card, that value gets changed from 'Y' to 'N'. This prevents using the same card to change the camera mode back again later. If you only want to start with video and then change to pictures, two cards should allow you to do this but I don't think you can use Story Teller to do so. Here is the way I did get it to change once per card successfully. Format both cards in the ContourROAM2. Connect the microSD card to your computer using a card reader. Open the file FW_RTC.txt in a text editor. Change the value for 'UPDATE:' from 'N' to 'Y'. Change the value for '1RES:' to whatever resolution you want. There is a list of resolutions and their value for setting if you scroll down in the text file. In this case, for your camera mode card, you would want 'P/3' and on your Action HD-720p card, you would want 'D'. Save the file and exit. When you place whichever card you want to use into the camera, press the status button. That will allow the camera to change to whatever resolution you want. Note that you can only do this once per card though because after the camera changes resolution, it changes the value in the 'UPDATE:' field back to 'N'. When you want to change modes, put the other card into the camera and press the status button. It is now configured in whatever mode your second card was set for. You will now have to reconnect it to a computer to change it again unless you have more cards setup with 'UPDATE:' set to 'Y' and the settings you want.

Hey Alex; the camera will ask you what's your recording destination (external SD card or internal memory) so you cannot record simultaneosly into both modes. Hope this helps.

When I purchased this item, I was under the impression that it had an SD memory card in it, but it did not. You have to hook it up to your own recording device. Because of this, I was not able to use it after I purchased it.

The camera comes with both options automatically. In the camera bios you tell it to use the internal memory or the micro sd card ("external"). But you can not (to my knowledge) change from internal to external after the recording. I recommend just go with external and leave it in the camera until that moment you wish you had external. Then you will be glad you did. This is an excellent camera. I have only had mine for sixty days and used it twice for local law enforcement's use. Once for an extreme hazardous driver where the authorities used the video as evidence to revoke his license. The other for a traffic collision where the officer thought another party was at fault until he saw the full HD video. The camera has image stabilization so the videos are smooth. Not sure why the reality television shows are not using them. Much cheaper and in my opinion better video quality than GoPro.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

Yes, you can format the SD at any time. i use a 4gb and have to perform a format every 3-4 days (4 cameras, record only when movement is detected and turn off the system every night as it is used in a store 10-8pm)

Yes. I have three throughout my house and can view all three on one account. I just click on which camera I want to view in full screen mode or I can see all three at once in miniature/wallet size mode.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".

There are instructions that tell you how. It's easy to switch back and forth between video and photos. I've had some trouble with the camera or the speed of the micro SD card not being able to write fast enough. The result is that the image gets stuck on a frame. If you're looking for a reliable camera, I would search elsewhere. This behaves more like a toy!

Yes. Nice that you can control the amount of memory your camcorder has! Also great for loading from the card to computer, or if you have more than one card on hand, you have additional memory. This is a GREAT camcorder. I am extremely impressed with its performance!

There is a setting that movies will be written to both cards simultaneously. Same options for stills too.

I do a lot of recording that is longer than 30 minutes on my Pan-AG-HMC40P using a 32GB memory card. It also breaks the data according to size of data. Don't know if there is a setting to extend the data size or time of recording.

Yes though you may receive a weird message stating that some footage may not record properly. Never had an issue though. If it pops up inaccurate format simply remove the card (while cam is on) and put it back in. Should fix the problem
