I was wondering if you could use the Hero3 as a dashcam and just keep
recording until you manually stop it. I sent a "contact us" request to the
Go Pro people and got a response back telling me that "YES, you can"!
They pointed me to page 35 of the manual which says..........
Looping Video mode allows you to record a continuously looping video that
overwrites itself until you press the Shutter/Select Button button to stop it.
Looping Video is not available if Protune mode is turned ON.
Looping Video options include:
OFF (Default)
Max video - Camera records until memory card is full, then overwrites
with a new video.
5 min video - Camera records for 5 minutes, then begins a new video,
progressively overwriting the previous 5 minute video.
20 min video - Camera records for 20 minutes, then begins a new video,
progressively overwriting the previous 20 minute video.
60 min video - Camera records for 60 minutes, then begins a new video,
progressively overwriting the previous 60 minute video.
120 min video - Camera records for 120 minutes, then begins a new video,
progressively overwriting the previous 120 minute video.
This looks interesting, and I just might have to play with this feature
a little bit.......
